Late entry…Halo Escalation 13 is out. (Spoilers)

The Twelve Days of Halo
by GoodWillHunter
On the twelfth day of Halo,
My new clan sent to me –
Twelve drop pods dropping,
Eleven snipers sniping,
Ten jackals creeping,
Nine wraiths advancing,
Eight grenades a-sticking,
Seven grunts exploding,
Six spartans slaying,
Five….bold marines,
Four falling drones,
Three pelicans,
Two armored gloves,
And a cartridge in my SMG!
