Bill and the Whistling Death

|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 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. *** *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 Death falls 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.* Are you curious about the airplanes we have at Patriots Point?

Born into a humble family, Shuhang's modern knowledge from a past life drives him to innovate and thrive beyond his means.

With a heart set on protecting those he cherishes and a mind geared toward uncovering the mysteries of cultivation, Shuhang’s journey is one of ingenuity, perseverance, and self-discovery. Will his unconventional methods allow him to transcend the limits of Ki Refinement and establish his foundation, or will the rigid structures of this world test his resolve and ingenuity to their limits?
