Essex Stories

Parenthood. A mammoth task. Alan and Martin's lives were flipped on their heads when they welcomed their daughter Poppi in November 1986. Since her birth, not a single aspect of their lives have remained the same, with the one exception of their roles in the music industry. It's the Autumn of 1987 and the air tinged with a chill is filling those of Depeche Mode's lungs as they prepare to embark on a global tour for their recently surfaced album, Music For The Masses. Poppi's first birthday vastly approaching, however, how will her parents juggle one of the greatest milestones of their lives and a tour at a clashing time period as well as other challenges parenthood may bring? (*DISCLAIMER*: This story is a sequel to my first one Fragile Tension, so you may want to give that a read first or else this may not make much sense! Also, all events in this story are very much fictional and should not be taken seriously. I hope you enjoy reading. ❤️) Completed ;)

In 1820, nineteen-year-old Henry DeWitt signs aboard a Nantucket whaleship with little to lose and less to come home to. The voyage promises years at sea, hard labor, and the faint hope of a share in oil profits that may never materialize. But when the battered ship drops anchor off the lush South American port of Atacames-a sun-bleached town of palm trees, sea breeze, and secrets-Henry steps onto the creaking dock and into a life he never expected. In Atacames, he finds more than rum and brief shore leave. He finds work, friendship among locals and sailors alike, and a quiet, clear-eyed young woman whose kindness cuts deeper than any harpoon. As the call of the whale ship clashes with the pull of this new home, Henry is forced to choose between the brutal certainties of the sea and the fragile promise of another future on land. *Atacames* is a historically tinted tale of salt and sun, of a drifting soul who discovers that sometimes the greatest voyage is the one that leads you into the unknown.

Fiction based on history Includes stories from major battles! There will be some Azur Lane oneshots as well.

In 1993, I joined an aid mission to the former country of Yugoslavia to deliver much-needed food and medical supplies. The trip should have lasted just five days... It soon became a much longer journey into the unknown, where I met desperate people on all sides of the Balkan conflict, saw the horrific devastation caused by war, and saw entire villages flattened by missiles.

Do what?" "Make everything so hard? Every time I try to move on you pop up, I just can never ESCAPE from you" I cried. "Why can't you just leave me alone?"
