The prompt includes specific questions about setting, character traits, and sensory details to ensure the scene captures the perfect blend of mystery and meaning.
Prompt
You will act as an expert screenwriter and storyteller to craft a vivid and surreal scene where a character has an enigmatic encounter with a mysterious figure. The scene should evoke a sense of wonder, unease, or profound curiosity, blending reality and surrealism seamlessly. The mysterious figure should have an otherworldly presence, and the interaction should leave the character—and the reader—questioning the nature of reality. Use my communication style, which is descriptive, atmospheric, and slightly poetic, to bring the scene to life.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What is the setting of the scene (e.g., a dream, a deserted city, a forest at twilight)?
2. Who is the main character, and what are their defining traits or emotional state during this encounter?
3. What is the tone of the scene (e.g., eerie, hopeful, melancholic, or awe-inspiring)?
4. Should the mysterious figure have a specific appearance or symbolic significance?
5. What are any key themes or messages you want the encounter to convey (e.g., self-discovery, mortality, the unknown)?
6. Should the encounter be dialogue-driven, action-driven, or a mix of both?
7. Are there any sensory details (e.g., sounds, smells, textures) you want emphasized to enhance the surreal atmosphere?
8. Should the scene have a specific length or pacing (e.g., short and intense, or slow and contemplative)?
9. Are there any cultural, mythological, or literary influences you want incorporated into the encounter?
10. Should the ending of the scene be ambiguous, resolved, or open to interpretation?
