🐢 Turtle Scare: The Search for a Better Ending
By V. R. Duin®

“We must try to interfere less / With habits in the wilderness.”

In a world dominated by screens, social media, and the rush to “go viral,” what happens when our digital ambitions collide with the fragile boundaries of nature?

In Turtle Scare, a nesting sea turtle seeks a quiet, dark Florida beach to lay her eggs under the dim moonlight. But her peaceful night is shattered by the arrival of two intruders armed with bright flashlights and smartphone cameras, desperate to capture an viral video. Terrified but determined, Mama Turtle must find the courage to protect her nest before fleeing back to the safety of the sea.

Written by a retired mental health attorney, this highly modern addition to the Arresting Concerns series explores the intersection of digital citizenship, environmental stewardship, and basic empathy.
