Bill and the Whistling Death

|SEASON 1 OF BILL AND THE WHISTLING DEATH · 10X FEATURED · WATTPAD CREATORS PROGRAM · PERFECT FOR FANS OF A MAN CALLED OVE AND REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES!| 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. *** *#SupportHistoricalLGBTQVoices* Trigger Warnings (this book is a drama and touches on heavy topics, inspired by my father and grandpa's service in the Navy and my father's reaction to my older brother's death in 2021. However, it's a clean story.): - War trauma (including PTSD) - Survivor's guilt - Lots of angst - Accidental murder, and Bill's struggle to accept his friend's confession of being queer at first.

Snow Banquet

[Extraordinary Child, Child's Heart Entering Dreams] "Mom is waiting for me in that city, but I don't know if I should go and see her." The boy, Meng Fengxue, was born into a single-parent family and was raised by his father since he was young. Although she didn't have her mother's company, her father's exquisite cooking skills and careful care allowed her to grow up happily. At the same time, she also developed a unique experience of delicious food. At the end of spring when she was 11 years old, her father suddenly passed away. His life had suddenly changed drastically, and the wind and snow had collapsed. He refused to face everything. Growing up in the city, he realized that it was hard to find someone as warm as his father in the city that was like a concrete forest. Only food could temporarily heal his soul. He couldn't help but think about the meaning of his existence. At this moment, his mother invited him to live in a distant land. At the beginning of summer, he embarked on a journey to live with his mother. However, he had never made up his mind to truly accept his mother, who was like a stranger. Thus, during the journey, he kept pausing and turning back. Like a symbol, he could only rely on virtual images and words to build up his mother. He was familiar with the big city he had lived in since he was young, but he was cold. The various events he encountered on the journey were like pulling hands, making him not know where to go. With a tongue that was sensitive to delicacies, a heart that sincerely felt the world, and the kindness of the people around him. The wind and snow slowly walked on the road to her mother's side. Could Meng Fengxue find him? What was waiting for him this summer?
