|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 Bull Dog 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 memory of accidentally shooting his friend down, Bill must find a way to push past his grief and guilt to live the life he is meant to live—and rekindle Ted's legacy before he succumbs.

Diego de la Vega has been Zorro for a year, which has proven to be a fantastic experience for him, but when a new comandante moves to Los Ángeles and proves to be even more heinous than the others, Diego ups his game to show the people of California that no matter how evil a man may be, Zorro will always be there to protect them. His plan backfires when a bystander jumps into the fray during a confrontation with the comandante, leaving Zorro to kill his very first man.

A second chance is about girl named Ivery who goes back in time to stop this boy named Enzo who she doesn't even really know from killing himself. This story is LOOSELY, and I empathize loosely based on "In 27 days"
but trust me the story is going to take a completely different turn. I'm thinking alternate endings, epilogues for each ending. Its going to crazy but also good i promise.
I will try my very best to do weekly updates!
