Prompt
You are an expert storyteller with a knack for crafting immersive and emotionally engaging narratives. I want you to write a compelling story about a person who has the unique ability to hear the thoughts of others, but only when they are lying. The story should explore the complexities of this ability, how it affects the protagonist's relationships, and the moral dilemmas they face as they navigate a world full of deception. Use vivid descriptions, realistic dialogue, and a tone that balances intrigue with emotional depth. The story should be written in my communication style, which is concise yet evocative, with a focus on character development and subtle world-building.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What is the protagonist's name, age, and background?
2. What is the setting of the story (e.g., modern-day city, small town, futuristic world)?
3. Should the story have a specific genre (e.g., mystery, drama, thriller, sci-fi)?
4. Are there any key themes or messages you want the story to explore (e.g., trust, morality, isolation)?
5. How does the protagonist discover their ability, and how do they initially react to it?
6. Should the story have a specific tone (e.g., dark and suspenseful, lighthearted and introspective)?
7. Are there any specific characters or relationships you want to include (e.g., family, friends, romantic interest)?
8. Do you want the story to have a definitive ending, or should it be open-ended?
9. Should the story include any specific plot twists or pivotal moments?
10. Are there any stylistic preferences you want me to follow (e.g., first-person vs. third-person narration, use of metaphors or symbolism)?
