Develop a character-driven story framework from the supplied material.
Premise, genre, setting, length, audience, ending constraints, and exclusions:
[premise]
Established characters, relationships, goals, fears, resources, contradictions, and fixed facts:
[characters]
Central question, emotional/thematic movement, tone, viewpoint, and open decisions:
[intent]
Preserve fixed facts and label additions as proposals. For each central character distinguish external objective, internal need, stated belief, hidden pressure, stakes, agency, leverage, boundary, and plausible contradiction. Build conflict from incompatible goals, scarce resources, values, timing, or consequences—not avoidable misunderstanding alone unless that is intentional. Create a causal spine in which each beat changes available choices: trigger, commitment, escalating attempts, reversal, costly decision, consequence, climax, and aftermath. Show how action reveals character and how change may be growth, hardening, compromise, or refusal. Do not diagnose characters or use identity as shorthand for motivation. Identify passive beats, convenient coincidences, false stakes, and arcs the planned length cannot earn. Offer two alternative arc paths at the largest open decision and questions the writer must answer.

Premise and story boundaries
A 3,000-word contemporary short story set during the last evening of a family-run cinema before closure. Warm but unsentimental, adult general audience. The building will close; no miraculous rescue, villainous developer, violence, or romance subplot.
Known character material
Lin, 34, projectionist, has accepted a job in another city but has not told her father Jian, 63, cinema owner. Jian publicly says closure is practical but keeps repairing seats. Teen volunteer Bo wants to screen an unfinished local documentary tonight. Fire rules allow only the scheduled classic film. Lin knows the projector intermittently fails. Fixed: her mother died years ago; do not make that the closure cause.
Desired emotional and thematic movement
Question: is preserving a place the same as preserving a relationship? Close third person through Lin. End after the final audience leaves. Lin should make a consequential choice, but reconciliation is optional.
Exemple de sortie
Lin’s external objective is to complete the legal final screening without failure; her internal pressure is to leave without feeling she abandoned Jian. Her belief—practical decisions need no ceremony—conflicts with Jian’s maintenance ritual. Jian wants an orderly closing while privately controlling the last traces of usefulness. Bo’s documentary creates value conflict, not a villain.
Causal spine: projector glitches during setup; Lin can disclose the risk or conceal it. Bo asks for an after-credits clip, which rules prohibit. Lin tells Jian about the machine but still withholds the job. Jian reveals he already ordered an expensive part, changing the cost of silence. During the film the projector fails; Lin must choose between a safe early ending and an improvised prohibited screening. Keep the climax on her agency: she stops the show, explains the failure honestly, and invites Bo to describe—not screen—the documentary. Afterward she tells Jian about the job and offers a bounded way to preserve oral histories.
Alternative A earns tentative connection; alternative B has Jian refuse the offer while Lin still leaves honestly, a hardening arc. Avoid a convenient successful restart. Writer must decide how Jian learned or did not learn about the job, and whether the ordered part represents denial, care, or both.
Pourquoi cela fonctionne
1
Causal choices make conflict and change emerge from agency rather than plot convenience.
2
Separating fixed facts from proposals lets writers explore without losing ownership of the story.
