Buck

The battles happening around me were a blur. The only thing that was going through my mind was the sound of her voice over the radio and the knowledge that if I wasn’t fast enough… No, I had to be fast enough! I had to make it! To hell with being angry with her, and for her being angry with me. I couldn’t even remember what it was anymore that we were so sore about. The only memory I had after all this time was of something that didn’t happen, an answer that wasn’t given. Hold on, Veronica, I’m coming.

The Rookie

Sometimes I Write Little 100 word drabbles for the hell of it.  I decided to write one about the Rookie from Halo: ODST.  Enjoy.  If I feel like it I'll do one for Dare, Buck, Dutch, Mickey, and Romeo. :)

The Rookie

Lights flickered across the dashboard before me. Sparks danced from the shattered control panel. The last thing I remembered was falling like a piece of metallic rain from the sky towards a destination that only one person knew and then – chaos. It had been daylight then, but now it is dark. The drop pod hisses as it opens and reveals my position high above the city. Funny how I had a fear of heights and yet they place me with the ODST. Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. I would have laughed if I didn’t know my only choice was to jump.
