Elderlyprotagonist Stories

An old lady reminiscing over her life.

This is a creative nonfiction piece told from the POV of my late grandfather. It's based on a true story he lived through and later told me in the way only he could. I did my best to capture his voice, his cadence, and the wildness of his storytelling. If this gets any attention, I might turn it into a series. He had more stories than I can count, each one stranger, funnier, and more unbelievable than the last.

A widow sets off on a dream cruise to recreate her honeymoon on her anniversary. But as the waves carry her into a world of luxury and escape, unseen forces threaten to steal everything she holds dear-her life savings, her beloved cottage.
