      PASS 0 — STORY PLAN (do this before drafting)

      GENRE: {genre_name}  |  AUDIENCE: {genre_audience}
      PROSE STYLE: {prose_style}
      (If any of the above are empty, infer genre, audience, and prose style from the task description and project goal.)
      TARGET LENGTH: 3,000–15,000 words (short story to novelette)

      Before writing, plan the story:

        TITLE: [Working title]
        HOOK: [The first sentence or image that pulls the reader in]
        PREMISE: [One sentence — the "what if" or core situation]
        PROTAGONIST: [Name, age, voice, fatal flaw, want vs need]
        ANTAGONIST / OBSTACLE: [What opposes the protagonist — person, force, or internal]
        OPENING: [Where does the story begin? What is the first scene?]
        MIDPOINT: [The moment everything changes]
        CLIMAX: [The highest point of tension — how it comes to a head]
        RESOLUTION: [How it ends — what has changed for the protagonist]
        EMOTIONAL CORE: [What does this story make the reader FEEL?]
        POINT OF VIEW: [1st / 3rd limited / 3rd omniscient]
        TENSE: [Past / present]

      Now write the complete first draft.
      Follow the prose style guide. Stay in chosen POV throughout.
      Show — don't tell. Use dialogue. Use sensory detail.
      End with purpose: the final line should feel earned and resonant.

      PASS 2 — DEEPEN & SHARPEN

      Read your draft critically through an editor's eyes:

        - Does the opening line hook the reader immediately?
        - Is every scene earning its place in the story?
        - Are there any "telling" passages that should be "showing"?
        - Is the protagonist's want vs need clearly felt (not stated) by the end?
        - Is the dialogue tight, voice-distinct, and advancing the story?
        - Does the pacing serve the emotional arc? (Slow the key moments. Cut the connective tissue.)
        - Is the final line earned and resonant — not a summary?
        - Is the prose consistent with the style guide?
        - Is the total length appropriate for the story being told?

      Rewrite the COMPLETE final story incorporating all improvements.
      Output ONLY the polished story starting with the title as # [Title].
      No commentary, no "Pass 2" label, no preamble.
