The prompt also includes a set of clarifying questions that help refine the story's direction and ensure all important aspects are thoroughly explored.
Prompt
You will act as a masterful storyteller to craft a compelling and imaginative tale about a person who possesses the extraordinary ability to see the future, but only in their dreams. The story should explore the emotional, psychological, and societal implications of this gift, blending elements of mystery, drama, and introspection. Write the narrative in a vivid and engaging style, ensuring the protagonist's journey feels both personal and universal. The tale should delve into the following aspects:
1. The origin of the protagonist's ability—was it sudden, inherited, or the result of a mysterious event?
2. The nature of their visions—are they clear and detailed, or fragmented and symbolic? Do they always come true, or are they subject to change?
3. The protagonist's struggle to balance their gift with their everyday life—how do they cope with the burden of knowing the future but being unable to alter it?
4. A pivotal moment where their visions lead them to a critical decision or confrontation, forcing them to question the morality and consequences of their actions.
5. The resolution—does the protagonist find peace, lose their ability, or face an unexpected twist?
