A prompt to try
Help me develop an original short story. Topic: [TOPIC], audience: [AUDIENCE], mood: [MOOD], length: [WORD COUNT]. First suggest three different starting situations, each with a character, a desire and an obstacle. Wait for my choice. Then write a draft with a believable turning point. Avoid clichés and do not explain the message at the end. Do not use established characters or fictional worlds unless I explicitly specify them.
