A Voyage Gone Wrong
#100StoryChallenge — No97

The mistress of the sea had promised Clive safe travels in exchange for his crew’s loyalty. Better her, a mere sea witch, than someone fickle like the great Poseidon.
As the sea pummeled the sides of the ship, a prayer slipped out of the captain’s lips.
Then a bolt of lightning hit the mast with a crash.
