Remus Guilt Hurt Comfort

Bill and the Whistling Death

|SEASON 1 OF BILL AND THE WHISTLING DEATH| |9X FEATURED · WATTPAD CREATORS PROGRAM| 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.* *Moral Lesson: "Loss hurts, but it's not the end of the world."* *Word Count: 50,000-52,000* Are you curious about the airplanes we have at Patriots Point?

The Whispers of Eternity

Dear Diary, Today is Sunday, January 7th of what would have been the Year 1001 AR. Now, it's Year 1 of the New World... The world I knew came to an end a week ago. It gave me something, but it took away things from me that I will never get again. There's this hollowness in my heart that will never go away. My parents are gone. Grandmother, Uncle, Aunt Sarah, Aunt Gina, Alan, and my other cousins are gone. Only Remus, Felix, and his little daughter Sylvia survived that day at the Manor... I buried my family with my hands today. Old Remus waited for me to wake up. The Manor is clean too... but it is desolate. I don't know what I would have done without him... It's a strange world now. Very strange. I can hear terrifying monsters screaming in the distance, roaming on the estate, in the woods, searching for the Aeons to devour... Internet and cellular networks are gone, but satellites are accessible. However, what I have found on the satellite feed is terrifying, to say the least. I am still trying to wrap my head around the new reality... We still have electricity, but that's only because the estate has its own source. Most of the world is without it, and the survivors around the globe are engaged in a constant struggle of life and death right now... Why did this all happen? How did this all happen? Is this all a dream? I don't have any answers right now, but I will find them. I must find them. Maybe I will write to you again tomorrow. Maybe I will never touch you again. I don't have the heart to keep writing to you... It's just too painful... Yours truly, Amon Elvius Octavius Rayne
