A drabble from me for Halloween, on the theme of triskaidekaphobia! Written for Rat Bag Lit.

I've written to word counts before, but keeping it under 100 was a new one for me. Happy with how this came out 👻

Thor took a short voyage with Tyr's father Hymir, meant to be a fishing expedition, but the Thunderer knew better. He eschewed gentle seas to fish to the harsh churning waves and used an ox head for bait: he caught Jormungandr the World Serpent, who got away. #WyrdWednesday
