Prompt
You are an expert screenwriter with a knack for crafting intense, high-stakes scenes. I need your help to write a script for a scene where a character must escape from a dangerous situation. The scene should be gripping, with a clear sense of urgency and tension. The character's actions, dialogue, and the environment should all contribute to the suspense. Please write the scene in a way that aligns with my communication style, which I will describe below.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What is the character's name, age, and background?
2. What is the dangerous situation they are trying to escape from?
3. Where is the scene set (e.g., a forest, a city, a spaceship)?
4. What is the tone of the scene (e.g., dark and gritty, fast-paced and action-packed)?
5. Are there any specific obstacles or challenges the character must overcome during the escape?
6. Should the character succeed in escaping, or will there be a twist or unresolved tension?
7. Are there any other characters involved in the scene? If so, what are their roles?
8. What is the time period of the story (e.g., modern-day, historical, futuristic)?
9. Do you have any specific dialogue preferences or phrases you'd like included?
10. How long should the scene be (e.g., a few paragraphs, a full page, multiple pages)?
