Short Story Review: “Crack The Bat” by Jack Bates

It is one thing to swing the bat at a baseball. Far different thing to swing the bat at a guy’s head as “Crack the Bat” by Jack Bates makes clear.  Far different thing even if you don’t connect. After all you do it to send a simple message that any dummy should understand.

Like everything else on the Shotgun Honey website, the read is short and packs a punch. One wouldn’t expect any less from the site or author Jack Bates.  It is another very good story that features lots of character, action, and meaning in a compact tale.
