Welcome to the next in an ongoing series of writing prompts in the Worldbuilding community !
I'm aiming to post one of these each Sunday. They aren't a replacement for the excellent daily prompts from

The prompt this week is - Superstition
Humans are superstitious creatures, and probably have been since forever. Black cats crossing your path, not treading on the cracks in the pavement, looking for four-leafed clovers. All completely without any scientific basis, but otherwise rational people have these ideas put into their head as children, and never quite forget them.
Pick a superstition from your world and tell me a story about it ! I doesn't matter if it's a fantasy or sci-fi setting; I'm sure that when humans go to the stars they'll still be superstitious, and will probably invent a whole bunch of new ones. "Always put your left spacesuit glove on first", stuff like that, all the little rituals of life.
Just to add a bit of spice to things, the two entries I most like (and are linked in comments to this post, so I can find them !) that are posted by midnight (GMT) next Saturday will each get a prize of one Hive SBI.
This link will take you to the FAQ where you can read more about Hive SBI - it's a project I thoroughly support because it gives both the donor and winner a steady trickle of passive income paid out in the form of upvotes on posts.
