Zusammenfassung

USS Jimmy Carter is the navy's top submarine. But after being injured on a routine patrol and transferred to Recruit Training Command, Carter meets someone who will profoundly change her life.

Chapter 1Prologue

How many times have I started this letter? Too many it seems like. I don't know why I even bother to keep trying now that there's no recipient to receive it. The cruel fates made sure of that.

Why? Why did I have to fall in love with you?! Why couldn't I have just admitted it? All those times we were berthed together at Point Loma. Those three months I never left your side following the worst day of my life, yours too I imagine. Not once did I ever come close to admitting that I loved you or even had the slightest as-semblance of feelings for you. I could barely admit it to myself at first and please take that as an attribute of my silent nature and nothing against you.

I would like to think that you shared my feelings no matter how secret they may have been. That you somehow caught onto what I always wanted to tell you and somehow never could and tried to return the favor. I remember those late nights we spent together, happily conversing over drinks. You somehow hiding all along the pain that killed you. I remember clearly the night you kissed me. Two days before I set out on that training exercise with Reagan. Not knowing that I would be returning to your funeral.

But I don't know, Traeger. I just don't know. You were always so forward to everyone but me. Around me you seemed so tongue-tied and hesitant that I had trouble figuring out what you wanted and I consider myself the expert in the art of silent communication. I am a submarine after all.

I always regret not telling you. I regret not being there when you needed me the most as I should have been. There's nothing I can do now to change what's already been done. You're gone and I must live on. That is my fate, cruel as it is. The least I can do is prevent others from enduring the same suffering as I have. That is the vow I made and I hold myself to it. Even now, 40 years after the fact. No matter how much Nebraska complains or Pennsylvania sends dirty looks behind my stern. It's all I can do now to make up for my past mistakes. The love I never shared with you, perhaps I can spread a little of that to others.

I keep you in my thoughts, always. Jimmy Carter SSN-23

The American Dream: A Modern Officer Sent to the Revolutionary War

Due to a mysterious transcendent being, United States Marine Corps First Lieutenant Samuel Kim from 2016 is thrown back in time to the year 1775. To make matters worse, he wakes up near Bunker Hill, mere hours before the famed Battle of Bunker Hill begins. Realizing the unique situation he finds himself in, the lieutenant takes the opportunity to change the fate of the battle and ensure an overwhelming American victory. Guided by his "patronizing" "God" and the American revolutionaries, Lieutenant Kim embarks on a journey to help America gain its independence and to ensure the nation upholds its "most promising" ideals from the very beginning. Author's Warning: The story is very rough in the first few chapters (and as some readers pointed out, some parts are laughable, such as "American idealism"). However, the pace and quality of the story improve from chapter four and onwards. You will enjoy the story if you are interested in history, worldbuilding, and the butterfly effect (along with a few badass characters). So even if you are a bit turned off initially, I promise that the story improves quickly. Some early details were accidentally left out, as I wrote the first two chapters a year before writing the third chapter. If you wish to support my writing, feel free to support me on Patreon. All my chapters will be free, but I appreciate a tip! https://www.patreon.com/okmangeez

Heavenly Wars

In the Shadow of Heaven: A Gripping Tale of Rebellion, Redemption, and Uncovering Truth In the dawn of creation, a celestial rebellion ignited, shattering the heavens and casting a shadow over humanity. Lucifer, once an angel bathed in divine light, led a legion of fallen beings in a defiant war against God. But their rebellion was not without consequence. Cast down to the depths, they vowed vengeance, their whispers of darkness forever poisoning the hearts of men. Generations passed, shrouded in a veil of ignorance. Humanity, corrupted by sin, wandered blindly towards oblivion. But amidst the darkness, whispers of hope arose. Prophets spoke of a coming Anointed One, a Messiah sent to vanquish the shadows and usher in a new dawn. His arrival, heralded by angels and marked by miracles, ignited a spark of faith in the hearts of the weary. Yet, the forces of darkness did not surrender. They tempted the Anointed One, tested his resolve, and unleashed the full fury of their malice. In a battle spanning realms unseen, the fate of humanity hung in the balance. The Anointed One, descending into the abyss to confront the fallen, fought not with earthly weapons, but with the unwavering power of faith and love. His victory reverberated through the heavens, shattering the chains of darkness. But the struggle for light was far from over. Deceptive whispers still slithered through the world, disguised as truth and masquerading as salvation. The path to redemption, illuminated by scripture yet obscured by doubt, demanded a journey of personal exploration and unwavering faith. Within the pages of this book lies not just a tale of epic battles and divine intervention, but a poignant exploration of humanity's eternal struggle against darkness. It is a call to arms, urging readers to embrace the transformative power of faith and step into the light, armed with the knowledge of truth and the unwavering conviction to claim the ultimate victory: salvation.
