This is my interpretation of the Halo time-line. I don't know the dates so I'm just guessing. Viewed from a random citizen who gets sent to be a marine. This is my first Halo story so no flames please. Chapters can range from one to one thousand sentences.

Log 1

Harvest:

Today I decided to start a log for my dally life. I just had a feeling that something was gonna happen. Tomorrow was my sons birthday. I still needed to get him a gift. I went to the mall and checked the Gamestop for a new game for him. I couldn't find anything good so I went to Toys "R" Us. I found a cool figurine of an alien so I bought it for him. I came home and wrapped it up in a small package. I went home and hid the package in the place he would never look, the basement. Soon I had put my son to bed and went into my room. I laid down and quickly fell asleep.
