"You say that like soldiers and humanity are two different things. Soldiers aren't machines. We're just people."

Unable to tell reality apart from his imagination, John's world is falling through the cracks. He can't tell if this place is real or is just his mind's conjuration of a world where he can escape his own. Cortana told him he was home. Is this what she meant, or is he just unable to open his eyes and accept what happened?

Update

Hello. I am here to inform you-

Waaay too formal. Hey, guys I'm gonna start off by saying sorry for two reasons. One being that all of you who have this story still favorited are going to see it updated, and then proceed to realize that said update is not a new chapter. Sorry. Two, is for my unexplained absence. There are an infinite number of reasons for this but in short, I pocketed the story. I had too much trouble writing chapters that still retained the main theme of the story which ironically enough was nonexistent. I hadn't put much effort into the whole grand scheme of things as I never expected it to reach the amount of likes it received. I honestly expected somewhere around fifty or maybe sixty likes if I was fortunate enough. But no, you guys were generous enough to grant me near 600 likes for which I am entirely grateful. I become extremely disappointed when one of my favorite stories gets put on hiatus and stays that way for months. My hypocrite-hating mind constantly bugged me day and night to pick up the story again, and tonight I've finally decided that enough was enough. So, as of now, the story will return. I can't give a date because of my chaotic life of balancing school, work, and home life which I know everyone does but still, it's hard. Rest assured, I have no intention of taking another six months to post anything. I'm going to go ahead and say that maybe two or three weeks is a good estimate. Don't hold me to that. Seriously, don't. I'm shooting for quality, not quantity despite the fact that the quality of other halo crossovers like MIA is far more impressive than anything I am capable of creating. Well... that didn't help my motivation. (Laughs depressively.) Honestly though, I know my writing capability isn't the best, but it's evident enough that you guys are willing to look past that. So like I said, I should have something up in a few weeks. Thanks for the continued support and have a great night... or day wherever you may be. And plez ignOre anee blatant mistakes in gramar or punctooation in dis update. It's 2:15 in the morning, guys, so show some mercy. Thanks.
