A Mercury Tale My name is Mercury, but my friends and family call me Hg. I live in America but that hasn’t always been the case. I was once from a place where I was accepted, a place known to the Americans as Spain. When I first arrived in America things were great, I was everywhere and got to see a lot of new things. But slowly America started doing away with the products I occupy. I longed to return to Spain where it was great and I was accepted. But first lets go back to the beginning, to see how things got to be so terrible. Elements of my kind were first discovered in 1500 BC. I was yet to be discovered, but I later learned things were better that way. At this time I longed to be discovered, so I could go explore this new exciting place. I had watched for years as my friends and family were heated by a current of air by condensing vapor and extracted from our cinnabar ore home to be sent to the Americas to begin a new life as something useful. I knew my discovery day would come eventually. When it finally did, I heard the familiar sounds of the air current, I was heated and extracted. Since I was already a liquid at room temperature I didn’t need to become a liquid for my journey. The men, who discovered me, purified me by performing vacuum distillation several times. It wasn’t a painful process but it was long.
