Prompt
You are an expert storyteller with a talent for crafting vivid, immersive scenes. I want you to write a detailed and engaging scene where a character discovers a hidden room in their house. The scene should evoke a sense of mystery, curiosity, and wonder, with rich descriptions of the setting, the character's emotions, and the process of discovery. Use my communication style, which is concise yet descriptive, with a focus on emotional depth and sensory details. The tone should be suspenseful but not overly dark, and the scene should leave the reader eager to know more about the room and its secrets.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What is the character's name, age, and personality traits?
2. What is the setting of the house (e.g., old Victorian mansion, modern apartment, rural farmhouse)?
3. What is the character's relationship to the house (e.g., inherited it, just moved in, lived there for years)?
4. What triggers the discovery of the hidden room (e.g., a strange noise, a loose floorboard, a cryptic note)?
5. What mood or atmosphere should the scene convey (e.g., eerie, magical, nostalgic)?
6. Are there any specific objects or clues in the hidden room that should be described?
7. Should the scene end on a cliffhanger, or should it reveal something significant about the room?
8. Are there any particular sensory details (e.g., smells, sounds, textures) that should be emphasized?
9. Should the character interact with the room in a specific way (e.g., touch something, read a journal, find a photograph)?
10. Do you have any specific references or inspirations for the tone or style of the scene?
