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?

The Skyball Chronicles

In the floating city of Skyreach, where magic and athleticism collide, the sport of Skyball reigns supreme. Played on islands suspended high above the ground, Skyball is a breathtaking, high-flying competition where players harness magical powers to soar through the air and score with a glowing energy orb. For orphan Kai Stormwind, who possesses the rare gift of wind magic, the dream of playing in the elite Skyball leagues has always seemed out of reach. Working at a small Skyball shop in the lower district, Kai spends his days fixing worn-out gear and his nights secretly practicing his magic. But when a mysterious stranger—revealed to be the legendary Darius Falkner, former captain of the champion Sky Titans—witnesses Kai’s untapped potential, everything changes. Darius offers Kai a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join the struggling Storm Hawks, a team of underdogs fighting for their place in the Great Sky Tournament. As Kai joins the team, he must learn to master not only his wind magic but also the teamwork and strategy needed to compete at the highest level. With the tournament drawing near, Kai and the Storm Hawks face fierce competition, including the ruthless Drakken Fangs, a team bent on winning at any cost—even if it means using forbidden magic. As dark forces threaten the tournament and the future of Skyreach itself, Kai finds himself at the center of a conflict far greater than just a game. With the fate of the city hanging in the balance, Kai must rise above his past and lead the Storm Hawks to victory—both on the Skyball field and against an enemy who seeks to destroy everything they hold dear. Full of magical action, thrilling sports competition, and the journey of an underdog fighting for his dreams, The Skyball Chronicles is an epic adventure of courage, friendship, and the power of teamwork.
