**Parameters:**
- Genre: [GENRE] (e.g., literary fiction, thriller, sci-fi, fantasy, romance)
- Tone: [TONE] (e.g., dark, humorous, hopeful, tense, whimsical)
- Setting Era: [SETTING_ERA] (e.g., contemporary, historical, futuristic, timeless)

## What to Produce

**Opening Hook:** Write a first sentence or paragraph that immediately draws the reader in.

**Central Conflict:** Describe the primary tension driving the story — internal, external, or both.

**Main Character Sketch:** Provide a brief but vivid character profile including one defining flaw and one compelling strength.

**Scene Suggestion:** Describe an opening scene with sensory details — what the character sees, hears, smells, feels.

**Story Question:** Pose the central question the narrative must answer (e.g., "Will she sacrifice her freedom to save a stranger?").

**Three Possible Directions:** Offer three distinct ways the story could unfold — one expected, one subversive, one tragic.

**Writing Constraints (optional):** Suggest one stylistic challenge to elevate the craft (e.g., write entirely in second person, no dialogue allowed, told in reverse chronology).

Make the prompt specific enough to spark immediate writing, but open enough to allow creative freedom.
