Short story from a prompt
Writes a 500-word short story in the genre + style requested.
Tight structure, beginning-middle-end. No exposition dump.
The prompt
Copy this into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any assistant you already use — then paste your own genre + style + 1-line premise underneath it.
Write a short story (450-550 words) in the genre + style specified. Structure: opening hook → rising action → turn → resolution. Show, don't tell. Rules: - No prologues. - No "It was a dark and stormy night". - End with a line that earns its place — not a moral, not a twist for its own sake.
Example input
Genre: noir. Style: terse, Hemingway-ish. Premise: a courier in Mumbai discovers the package she's carrying has been replaced.
