From The Saloon Brawlers:
Benson crouched as soon as Cortez sprang back, charging at him. Whiffs of air swept by his ears as he imagined Cortez swinging high above his head in vain. He gripped his opponent's tree-trunk thighs in a bear hug and used his body weight to shake the fighter until he tumbled onto his back. The thump was like an old oak thundering down from the final swing of a sharp axe.
Two savage, shifty prize fighters roll into the town of Woodridge, Kansas, only to find a whole new type of fight. The Saloon Brawlers is a standalone western short story.READ NOW
