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.
