They say life is like a rollercoaster, but Alan somehow thought it was a train.
For Alan Richards, his life was quiet-boring, as some might say. But when his grandchildren beg him to share his story, he invents a train: The Train of Destiny.
What begins as a harmless story becomes a mirror of the life he tried to forget-filled with unexpected detours, painful memories, and a mysterious encounter that changed the course of his life.
Somewhere between the stations of memory and imagination, an old man finds what it truly means to reach your destination.

𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒔 (✓)
(not edited) This is the book I never even admired. It was more like a journal for me-just ranting and never meant to be published. I only uploaded it so that my friend could read it, and I never imagined people would actually love it. So, it's nothing like Whispered Vows-that's the book I poured my heart and soul into, dedicating 5-6 months completely. So please, don't judge me by this book 😂!! It was written when I was a teen and remained just a draft for almost a year from 2022 to 2024. Happy Reading ✨ (SHORT STORY) #𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔 1 ~𝑨𝒃𝒉𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒂𝒏 𝑺𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒉 𝑺𝒊𝒔𝒐𝒅𝒊𝒂 -19 - 30 age (at the start of the story) -6'2 height -sunshine ~𝑲𝒂𝒗𝒚𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒋𝒗𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒉 -18-29 age - 5'2 height -ambivert . .
