Matt's Story

A Continuation of The Promise

By: Jean Hackensmith

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Matt Walker was fifteen when he almost died of dust pneumonia in “The Promise.” Now, ten years later, he is a twenty-five-year-old WWII flying ace with 34 kills, four of them at Pearl Harbor. His high school sweetheart, Julie Sullivan, promised to wait for him when he went off to war, but a single careless night in Papua New Guinea left Matt with a wife and child on the way, breaking Julie’s heart.
When Matt returns home after the war, he makes his living in the skies once again, this time as a crop duster. His Piper J-4 Cub Coupe is his pride and joy, second only to his infant son, Noah. His Australian wife, Elisa, should also have been his most prized treasure, but when her deceit and lies expose her for the gold digger she is, Matt is led to doubt that Noah is truly his child. A divorce and fierce custody battle ensue, which will culminate in a trip halfway around the world to save his son.

The horrible narration

This was a nice story that was ruined by the robotic narrator. I absolutely despise the AI narrative.
