For the avoidance of doubt... Yes... I definitely have an opinion...

Oct 6 - Ancient Curses
Prompt: If someone told you that a group of stars are going to appear in a certain pattern, foretelling an ancient curse is about to come true. Would you believe it or would you think of it as nonsense? And would you make up a story about it?
***

I could definitely make a story up about it, who doesn't like a prophecy or curse. But I'm knee deep in Nano and my brain can't focus on too many things without melting.

As for whether I would believe it or think of it as nonsense, I lean heavily toward the 'sure, why not' ilk.

It makes for a good story. Nearly every curse seems to have a prophecy about how to undo said curse. It's certainly no less palatable that what's on the news every night. To be fair, what's happening in the world probably is a curse. I bet someone could link it to a passing comet or newly found astrological phenomena.

At this stage I'd quite happily add aliens into the mix as well, but I get the impression Earth is probably like the Florida of the universe (apologises to people from Florida). I could also use Tasmania for an Aussi reference, or East Angelia for the UK, but there are a lot of Americans on here, so Florida probably makes more sense.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I am not going to stop paying my bills or cancel plans because of this curse, but I am fully on board when it happens. As long as I'm not part of the cure... If I'm part of the cure, you are all doomed, just saying. Especially if it has anything thing to do with turning to the dark side, or becoming a member of the immortal dead, because I would get whiplash for how quickly I would agree to that. Just forewarning you all...
