Bill and the Whistling Death

|SEASON 1 OF BILL AND THE WHISTLING DEATH| |6X FEATURED · 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. *** *There is a queer side character in this story, but it remains relatively quiet and is not the story's primary focus.* *Genre: Wildcard (elements of Historical Fiction, General Fiction, Mystery, Adventure, Drama, and Coming-of-Age)* Are you curious about the airplanes we have at Patriots Point?

Fragment of us

Fragments of Us A story of love, betrayal, and redemption set in the heart of Bangkok, Fragments of Us follows the lives of two young men whose love was once their greatest refuge until one devastating night shattered everything. Arthur and Nick grew up together, fell in love in secret, and built a world where they could be themselves, away from the expectations of family and society. But when a carefully orchestrated lie rips them apart, love turns into heartbreak, trust into doubt, and a single moment destroys the years they spent holding on to each other. Now, a year later, fate pulls them back together but the truth remains that everything is still the same. Nick, who vanished without a trace, is suddenly back in Bangkok, but not as the man Arthur once knew. The warmth in his eyes is gone, replaced by a cold distance. The fake engagement Nick entered into was meant to be a shield, a way to escape his own feelings but it was also a blade, one that cut deep into Arthur’s heart. But what Nick doesn’t know is that Arthur never stopped searching for him after knowing the whole truth. And the truth is far more twisted than either of them ever imagined. Arthur and Nick’s love began in the quiet corridors of their childhood, in the stolen moments between school and home, where their feelings grew into something so powerful that it became impossible to ignore. By the time they reached university, their love was still strong, real, undeniable, and consuming. They built a life together in the bustling heart of Bangkok, balancing their dreams. Nick, ambitious and disciplined, had his sights set on business success, while Arthur, passionate and expressive, lived for his art. Despite their differences, they found home in each other. Until Tyler entered their lives. Jealousy is a slow poison, and Tyler, a new friend who never truly wished them well, made sure it spread. He watched them closely, waiting for a chance to break them apart. And then he struck. A drugged drink. A staged betrayal. A series of incriminating photographs. Nick, blinded by pain and betrayal, believed the worst. Instead of fighting for the truth, he let his hurt consume him. And Arthur was left alone, drowning in the wreckage of a love he thought was unbreakable. Bangkok became a different city without Nick. The apartment they once shared became nothing more than four walls and memories too painful to face. Arthur spiraled, searching for answers, for proof that he had not betrayed the man he loved. But Nick was gone. Disappeared. No calls. No messages. Nothing. Three months later Then came the news that shattered Arthur’s world all over again. Nick had moved on. And not just with anyone, but with an engagement to his best friend Mia. The engagement was a front, a lie that Nick told himself would make things easier and make Arthur feel his pain of betrayal too. But every day, he lived with the weight of what he had done. Because the truth was, despite his anger, despite the pain, Nick had never stopped loving Arthur. He had simply convinced himself that love was not enough. One year later, Arthur has not stopped searching for Nick. He has learned the whole truth from Tyler, Mia and Pim and so he was determined in looking for Nick and bringing them back together again It happens unexpectedly, on a busy street, in a crowded road, in the places they used to walk through. But Arthur doesn’t expect the wave of emotions that comes crashing down on him. Nick, who once disappeared, is now right in front of him but he couldn’t reach him. Nick never expected to see Arthur again. Never expected to feel the same pull, the same ache in his chest every time their eyes met. He told himself he had let go. That he doesn't deserve Arthur. But Arthur was never someone he could forget. Now, with the truth unraveling before him, Nick is forced to confront the greatest mistake of his life that is leaving Arthur behind. He has to make up for the past.
