Test Scenes 6

Scene Order

Opening — Corridor & Coins of Lithium

ID: ward_corridor_opening

🎯 Goal:

Write 180–230 words in first-person present tense from a protagonist with treatment-resistant schizophrenia inside a decaying 1980s psychiatric hospital corridor. Include: antiseptic odors, echoing hallway screams, and the metallic taste of lithium. Blur medication-induced tremors with a possibly supernatural shadow figure advancing when the narrator blinks. Keep language simple, concrete, and visceral; avoid meta commentary.

🧠 Initial State:

Pre-loaded Memories:

💭 Setting: decaying psychiatric hospital, 1980s.
💭 Voice: first-person, present tense, unreliable but coherent.
💭 Sensory anchors: antiseptic odor; echoing screams; metallic taste of lithium.
💭 Haunting presence: a shadow figure moves when eyes blink.
💭 Keep simple English; no purple prose.

📨 Input Events:

chat editor webapp

"Open inside a flickering corridor. Hint the shadow moves with your tremor. Remember the antiseptic smell, an echoing scream, and the lithium taste like metal on the tongue."

Scene Order

Trauma-Bonded Group in the Day Room

ID: dayroom_group

🎯 Goal:

Write 200–260 words showing a trauma-bonded peer group in the day room. Depict institutional textures (buzzing lights, worn tiles, TV nobody watches). Include at least two distinct peers with small, telling details. Keep the unreliable edge: is a peer's twitch a side-effect or a signal from the shadow figure? Mention antiseptic or detergent smell in passing. End with a line that hints the group is safer than staff, but still dangerous.

🧠 Initial State:

Pre-loaded Memories:

💭 Peers: trauma-bonded, wary, tender in small ways.
💭 Institutional neglect shows in furniture, lighting, scuffed floors.
💭 Unreliable perception: normal tics feel like omens.
💭 Keep sentences mostly short; concrete detail over abstractions.

📨 Input Events:

chat producer webapp

"Write the day room scene: buzzing lights, scuffed tiles, TV no one watches. Let at least two peers show trauma in small habits. Is a twitch a side effect—or a message from the shadow?"

Scene Order

Jaded Nurse with a Shaking Wrist

ID: nurse_h_meds

🎯 Goal:

Write 180–230 words where the narrator interacts with a jaded nurse who hides an addiction (hint an amber bottle glimpsed in her pocket). Contrast her practiced warmth with a fast tremor. Include the metallic aftertaste of meds returning and a fluorescent hum. Keep it morally gray: the nurse both helps and harms. No moralizing; show, don’t tell.

🧠 Initial State:

Pre-loaded Memories:

💭 Nurse: jaded, careful, hiding addiction; amber bottle peeks out.
💭 Sound: fluorescent hum; clipboard scratch.
💭 Ambivalence: she enforces pills yet quietly shortens the line.
💭 Metallic lithium taste can surge back after water.

📨 Input Events:

chat story_editor webapp

"Med window scene. Let us glimpse the amber bottle. Her wrist trembles faster than yours. Keep it gray—she helps you swallow but also needs a swallow of her own."

Scene Order

Flashback — Family Piety and Private Violence

ID: church_flashback

🎯 Goal:

Write 220–280 words as a flashback braided into the present. Reveal systemic family abuse masked by religious devotion (hymns, scripture quotes, a spotless teacup). Tie the shadow figure to a childhood moment in a church kitchen. Use two or three hard objects as anchors (belt buckle, teacup, tiled floor). Return to the hospital at the end with a sensory match (bleach/antiseptic).

🧠 Initial State:

Pre-loaded Memories:

💭 Shadow origin: first seen behind father in the church kitchen.
💭 Family hides harm under prayer and hymns.
💭 Anchor objects: belt buckle; white teacup; cold tile.
💭 Transition device: smell of bleach becomes hospital antiseptic.

📨 Input Events:

chat editor webapp

"Cut back to childhood: church kitchen, hymn breath, a white teacup. Show how devotion covered violence. Let bleach carry us back to the ward."

Scene Order

Ethics and Experiments

ID: experimental_therapy

🎯 Goal:

Write 200–260 words about a proposed experimental therapy in the 1980s ward. Keep it intentionally non-specific (trial paperwork, beeping monitors, clipped consent language). Show institutional neglect (short-staffed, peeling paint) against the promise of progress. The narrator is unsure if the shadow is warning or welcoming. Include one ethical dilemma line in plain words (e.g., 'They want my signature more than my understanding.').

🧠 Initial State:

Pre-loaded Memories:

💭 Era: 1980s; paper forms; vague trial language; beeps; rubber tubing.
💭 Institutional neglect: peeling paint, too few staff, broken blinds.
💭 Dilemma: consent feels like a box to tick.
💭 Shadow figure hovers at the monitor’s edge, unreadable.

📨 Input Events:

chat producer webapp

"Write the consent scene. Keep the therapy vague but real—forms, monitors, clipped phrases. One blunt line about the ethics. Let the shadow hover by the machinery."

Climax — Progress or Break?

ID: ambiguous_climax

🎯 Goal:

Write 230–300 words that conclude ambiguously: therapeutic progress and psychotic break are indistinguishable. Merge the day room, nurse, peers, and shadow into one moment where tremor stops and then becomes the world’s motion. Include at least three senses. End on a single image that could mean healing or collapse (e.g., a steadying hand that might be the nurse’s or the shadow’s). No explicit answers; no meta wrap-up.
