MIKE McCRARY - SEPARATE CHECKS (2019)

Synopsis/blurb....

It’s just dinner. …

That’s what former lovers, Jackie and Hunter, tell themselves as they take a trip down memory lane. Unfortunately, no amount of time can erase their mistrust of each other. As the meal progresses, their suspicions about the other’s intentions grow to alarming heights. One believes the other is there to murder them. The other can’t wait for their former lover to try.

Have they made a deal with the devil or will their rocky history prove to be a thing of the past?

Separate Checks is the new short story by Mike McCrary. If you like pulp thrillers, dark humor, and wickedly entertaining antiheroes, then you’ll love Mike McCrary’s fast, fun story.

A bit more to my liking than the other short Mike McCrary tale Broken that was read on the same day.

Dinner, distrust, conflict resolution, collateral damage, unfinished business.


Interesting characters, an interesting situation, there's a kind of to be continued vibe about the outcome, but it's one that worked for me.

What more can you say about a 20 minute read?
