A Whistle In The Dark A

Never Trust A Shadow After Dark

WSA 2025 entry. “Well, I can remedy that,” she snarled, “move out of my way, you are blocking the exit.” “Lisa, listen to me please. I know right now you are feeling anxious and confused but everything happens for a reason. I am just as shocked and overwhelmed about the situation but as long as we are both being reasonable we can get through this together.” “No way in hell can you be so calm. You planned this! I’m not staying another second in here with you. I’m going to get out of this room and figure out how to get this marriage annulled.” “Then I’m afraid I can’t allow you to leave.” Lady Melisandre ‘Lisa’ Belmont was a young, French beauty wrongfully accused and publicly executed for crimes she did not commit. In this new lifetime she's claimed the body of a beautiful aspiring actress who got fed up with constantly being duped by her conniving manager. What might be an ideal situation for the other women is a nightmare for Lisa who wakes up trapped in a marriage she never wanted. The newlyweds must awkwardly overcome their differences and live on an isolated island with other competing couples for a legacy worth billions. As the competition progresses, hysteria grows as suspicious accidents escalate. An insidious intelligence wants to stop Lisa from leaving the island alive. It will stop at nothing to dominate Lisa against her will, invoke terror and consume her soul. Only true love can overcome evil and save their souls. Lisa will just have to search her heart before it's too late and never trust a shadow after dark.

Bill and the Whistling Death

|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. *** *This enjoyable story has received a special shout-out from Wattpad Ambassador @RookWri78 for a strong first chapter!* *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?

A Note in the Café

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee swirled through the small café. Mia, a talented but self-doubting columnist, finds solace in her favorite neighborhood café, where the comforting hum of coffee machines and quiet conversations inspire her best work. Across the room sits a reserved bookshop owner with a passion for literature and a knack for lingering in the background. Mia noticed him, how he had a quiet intensity about him that intrigued her. But she was too reserved to approach, so their interactions were limited to fleeting glances and unspoken words. One destined morning, a torn page from reserved bookshop owner's favorite novel flutters to Mia’s feet. Scrawled in the margins is a note that reads: “If we wait for the perfect moment, it may never come.” Assuming it’s an accidental drop, Mia returns the page, only to learn this man left it for her intentionally—a quiet declaration of interest from a man who has admired her from afar. What starts as a hesitant introduction blossoms into a connection neither of them expected. As Mia helped him rediscover his long-abandoned dream of becoming a writer, he teaches her to embrace spontaneity and trust her instincts. Together, they prove that love, like the best stories, often begins with a leap of faith and a touch of serendipity. Set against the warm and inviting backdrop of their favorite café, "A Note in the Café" is a heartwarming tale about finding courage, following your heart, and discovering that the perfect moment is the one you create together.
