    Hello, I'm Connor Whiteley, I am an 18-year-old who loves to write creatively, and I wrote my Brownsea trilogy when I was 14 years old after I went to Brownsea Island on a scout camp. At the camp, I started to think about how all the broken tiles and pottery got there and somehow a trilogy got created.Moreover, I love writing fantasy and sci-fi novels because you’re only limited by your imagination.In addition, I'm was an Explorer Scout and I love camping, sailing and other outdoor activities as well as cooking.Furthermore, I do quite a bit of charity work as well. For example: in early 2018 I was a part of a youth panel which was involved in creating a report with research to try and get government funding for organised youth groups and through this panel. I was invited to Prince Charles’ 70th birthday party and how some of us got in the royal photograph.Finally, I am going to university and I hope to get my doctorate in clinical psychology in a few years.

      Awaiting Death - Connor Whiteley

      AWAITING DEATH

      Casting my mind back to the days before my... unique set of skills were employed by the rebellion. I remembered one of my first kills as a hired blade or the much harsher term assassin. This is what happened.

      As I walked carefully down the long stone corridor of the castle's Medical Wing. My feet tapped on the cold stone floor as I went towards my prey. 

      I gave Kind nods of support to my fellow doctors as I passed them in the corridor and breathed in their smells of chemicals and concoctions of potions meant to heal the sick. Some of the nurses smelt of herbs, whilst some of the others smelt of sweet honey. Compared to some of my other hits, this was a more pleasant one!
