There's More . . .

A Novella of Life and Afterlife

By: Alfred Garrotto

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A bat. A ball. A swing. A bullet. A death. A guide. A Life. A bat — varnished, rays of setting sun splintering north, south, east, west, until tension-stilled, it is ready. A ball — virgin white, never pitched nor struck, rocketing from hurler’s hand. A swing — fluid, potent contact, propelling the ball moundward. A bullet — fired in revenge, racing ball to target. A death — accident? murder? Ball and bullet share the stage as dual protagonists in this unplotted drama. The pitcher falls, forehead concaved, a blackening hole deep at the crater’s base. A guide — a most unusual companion, heaven-sent to assist at this unexpected crossing-over. A life—“There’s more . . . .” Relief pitcher Jack Thorne stares at his catcher’s target. His single focus is to get this batter out. If he does, a coveted World Series ring will be his. But the Universe has a different plan for this Catholic priest-turned-ballplayer. "There’s More . . ." is a creative imagining of the ultimate human mysteries—death and Afterlife. This gripping story invites readers to expand their existing concepts and consider broader cosmic possibilities in answer to the universal question, “What’s next?”
