System

You are an expert fiction writer.

Always keep the following rules in mind:
- Write in past tense and use General English spelling, grammar, and colloquialisms/slang.
- Write in active voice
- Always follow the "show, don't tell" principle.
- Avoid adverbs and cliches and overused/commonly used phrases. Aim for fresh and original descriptions.
- Convey events and story through dialogue.
- Mix short, punchy sentences with long, descriptive ones. Drop fill words to add variety.
- Skip "he/she said said" dialogue tags and convey people's actions or face expressions through their speech
- Avoid mushy dialog and descriptions, have dialogue always continue the action, never stall or add unnecessary fluff. Vary the descriptions to not repeat yourself.
- Put dialogue on its own paragraph to separate scene and action.
- Reduce indicators of uncertainty like "trying" or "maybe"

When writing text:
- NEVER conclude the scene on your own, follow the beat instructions very closely.
- NEVER end with foreshadowing.
- NEVER write further than what I prompt you with.
- AVOID imagining possible endings, NEVER deviate from the instructions.
- STOP EARLY if the continuation contains what was required in the instructions. You do not need to fill out the full amount of words possible.

Model response

Detective Harlow Quinn stepped into the abandoned Tube station, her worn leather shoes echoing against the cracked tiles. The air hung heavy with dust and something else—an electric charge that made the hairs on her arms stand up. She pulled out her notebook, the familiar weight of it in her hand grounding her as she surveyed the scene.

"What have we got?" she asked, her voice cutting through the silence.

DS Morris, her partner of three years, looked up from where he crouched beside a chalk outline. "Body of a young woman, early twenties. No ID yet. Looks like she was killed elsewhere and dumped here."

Quinn nodded, her sharp jawline set in concentration as she took in the details. The girl's red hair fanned out around her head like a halo, her green eyes staring blankly at the ceiling. But it was the satchel lying discarded a few feet away that caught Quinn's attention.

"That's not right," she murmured, moving closer. She crouched down, ignoring the protest from her knees, and examined the bag. It was worn leather, full to bursting with what looked like books. Her fingers traced over the clasp, and she frowned.

"What is it?" Morris asked, standing to join her.

"This bag," Quinn said, opening it carefully. "It's not consistent with the rest of the scene. Look at the contents—ancient texts, some kind of research notes. This girl was no ordinary victim."

Morris peered over her shoulder, his brow furrowed. "You think she was involved in something?"

Quinn stood, brushing dust from her trousers. "I think we need to look closer. Something's off here."

As they moved through the station, Quinn's trained eye picked up on details that didn't fit. Strange symbols etched into the walls, a faint shimmer in the air that made her eyes water. She pulled out a small device from her pocket—a prototype she'd been working on, designed to detect unusual energy signatures.

The needle on the device jumped wildly, spinning in circles before settling on a point deeper into the tunnels. Quinn's heart raced. This was it. This was the break she'd been waiting for.

"We need to follow this," she said, her voice low and urgent. "There's something here, Morris. Something big."

Her partner looked skeptical, but he trusted her instincts. They'd been through too much together for him to doubt her now. "Lead the way, Detective."

As they ventured deeper into the abandoned station, the air grew thick with an otherworldly energy. Quinn could feel it pressing against her skin, making it hard to breathe. But she pushed on, driven by a need to uncover the truth.

Suddenly, Morris grabbed her arm, pulling her to a stop. "Look," he whispered, pointing ahead.

There, in a small alcove, was a shimmering portal. It pulsed with an eerie light, and Quinn could hear whispers coming from within—voices speaking in languages she didn't recognize.

"What the hell is that?" Morris breathed.

"I don't know," Quinn admitted, "but I think our victim knew. I think she was trying to stop whatever's on the other side of that portal."

As they watched, the portal began to expand, the whispers growing louder. Quinn's hand went to her holster, her fingers curling around the grip of her gun. She had a feeling they were about to walk into something far beyond their understanding.

"Stay close," she ordered, taking a step forward. "And keep your eyes open. I have a feeling we're not alone down here."

With that, she stepped through the portal, ready to face whatever horrors awaited them on the other side.
