Most individuals believe in at least one superstition. Many individuals even self-regulate their personal behavior based on superstitious beliefs. Write a short story or piece of flash fiction based on a superstition. Pick any superstition/s you like, from any culture or tradition, and use it as the basis for a fictional story. Let's do prose only, fiction only, and any length you like. And tag me, too!

Vyxyn in Fiction

My family is Creole, we believe in Voodoo and Hoodoo, and witchcraft old folk type.

Never let a wild bird fly in your house, they bring a message of impending death of a loved one. This one I've seen happen so many times.

If an owl shows himself to you wings open he's telling you of a major upheaval in your life. Beware the owl hooting at your window, a death will happen soon.

Your ancestors on the other side send you messages through nature, they hope that you are smart enough to pick up on it. Most humans are not. Birds are messengers birds pecking at your windows are trying to tell you something.

Nature is in touch with the spirit world and is a conduit to the physical.

If your dogs are barking at nothing, they are seeing spirits good or bad.

That's is all for now.
