I knew a guy born on Friday the 13th. That's not a joke, just a thing that happened.

It's Friday the 13th. Maybe that means nothing, maybe it means things around about go horribly wrong.

Start either by describing the sorts of scenes you're into or save time by just writing a starter. Then apply Finagle's law of dynamic negatives:

""Anything that can go wrong, will—at the worst possible moment."



Some optional inspiration bad luck-

1) Trip. Going about your business and suddenly- banana peel! Maybe you land somewhere soft but embarrassing like someone's butt or maybe straight out a window! Aaaaaaaaaah!

2) Mispoke. Accidentally offensive, or gibberish whoopsie said wrong time.

3) Mistake. This one is all your fault. As small as burnt the dinner, as big as pushed the wrong button and ejected yourself into space.

4) Drop. Toast always lands butter-side down and cakes always land on someone's face.

5) Collision. Bumping into someone. Or a bus.

6) Supersition. That black cat crossing your path can't be the source of all this... right?

7) Curse. That witch's curse couldn't be real, right?

8) Axe murderer. Oh, that's a big one. Covers any kind of unexpected threat, from bears to meteors.

9) Stuck. In an elevator, a swamp or an awkward social situation.

10) Prank. In general or... gone wrong.

11) Malfunction. You need this printed now damnit!

12) Weather. You didn't bring an umbrella/snow shovel! Or you just got your ass blasted by lightning.

13) Losing. The dice are not your friend today. Literally or figuratively.

[Her whole life has been one massive misfortune but how about some particularly bad misfortune? Or she’s the black cat bringing everyone else bad luck. That might even be deliberate if you’re from Belleville.]
