Carry on Smartly II: The Seawall Remembers

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

What does it mean to endure love, loss, and memory when the world offers no answers? In this striking collection of short fiction, Wayne Westphal Barrow explores the quiet moments that shape human lives in ways both visible and unseen. A grieving student finds unexpected dignity in an act of generosity.

A man waits for years at a roadside for a wife who never returns. Along the Georgetown seawall, desire collides with consequence under the cover of darkness. And an archivist, obsessed with the past, begins to question whether history is ever truly gone. Set against richly textured Caribbean landscapes and extending into deeper philosophical terrain, these stories move between the intimate and the universal—between what is remembered, what is imagined, and what refuses to be forgotten.

Reflective, and deeply human, The Seawall Remembers is a meditation on resilience, truth, and the fragile stories we tell ourselves to survive.
