The Valhalla Wager

0/5 ( ratings)

Some people have all the luck. Grant Gunderson, a recently divorced high school math teacher, isn't one of them—until a surprising choice transforms an ordinary workweek into a fantastical journey to the planets. When Grant buys a lottery ticket on a whim, he knows the odds and fully expects to lose his money, but what happens next turns his world upside down—and a few other worlds, too. Grant's luck takes a turn after he encounters a Norse trickster, a disgraced ballplayer, and a grumpy Zeus in the most unlikely of places. That's when his troubles really begin.

"The Valhalla Wager" is a 12,000-word fantasy about hope, myths, baseball curses, and astronomy. Inspired by fractured fairy tales and myths like XO Orpheus, this quirky novelette reimagines the "bet" from the Book of Job, but with different deities—and higher stakes.

Language: English

Pages: 38
