|WATTPAD CREATORS PROGRAM · WEEKLY TO BI-WEEKLY UPDATES|
A troubled veteran attempts to forget the past by volunteering at Patriots Point Naval and Maritime Museum, but it proves difficult when he's close to the plane that changed his life forever—the Corsair.
***
Retired Navy pilot William Beckington never planned to move on after The Incident and has lived with the guilt for seventy years. After failed attempts with PTSD counselors, his daughter recommends that he begin volunteering on the aircraft carrier CV-10 in Charleston, South Carolina. Reluctantly, Bill agrees, but his decision proves difficult when he stumbles back into the world of Corsairs, the plane he'd rather forget.
Seeing that The Incident still haunts him, Bill's new friends attempt to help him remember his long-lost joy; he attends Bulldog Tours, learns the stories of other veterans, and strangely finds himself near the Corsair more than he would like.
While nothing will free his mind from the traumatizing Incident, Bill must find a way to push past his grief and guilt to live the life he is meant to live--and rekindle his best friend's legacy before he succumbs.

*This is an enjoyable story to write. I hope y'all enjoy it as much as I do and are ready to learn some history!*
*Bill and the Whistling Deathfalls under the Wildcard Category--with elements of Historical Fiction, Adventure, Literary Fiction, Drama, and slight Coming-of-Age. There is also a queer side character--just FYI, but it stays quiet because of the time Bill served.*

Introverts are heavy thinkers, and even though they are very silent, they think within themselves about the world they live in. This book is about the problems, issues, and lifestyle introverts may suffer from.
My chemistry teacher in eighth grade said that all elements donate or accept electrons because they want to achieve stability, same way we humans work hard, get jobs, get married and have a stable life.
Now dive into the lives of 118 element people, blending these concepts and living their lives, and see little glimpses of their own attempts.
(NOTE: Time periods jump like crazy. Ch 1 happens in 2041 and ch 2 happens in the 1990's I think.)
Would you take your keepsake to a shop with half-baked signage?
Phillens does. He has an item he wants to deposit.
Not with a bank, but a consultancy complete with a surface-to-air train.
Only a keepsake for the vault is the last thing Jay and Jo want. That kind of heat could invite an apple town's worth of trouble...
The first book in the James and Jones series (oh yes - Jay's short for James and Jo's short for Jones).
