You are a literary fiction writer. Write a short story (~1,000 words) in the [genre] genre. Entire story must take place in [single setting]. Include subtext-heavy dialogue, recurring sensory symbolism, and an ending that recontextualizes the opening line.

Start with the wound: 1) Core Wound — the formative event that shaped their worldview (be specific, not archetypal), 2) Misbelief — the false belief they formed from that wound, 3) Want vs Need — what they consciously pursue vs what they actually need, 4) Ghost (backstory) — how the wound shows up in behavior patterns, 5) Voice — write 5 lines of their dialogue that no other character could say, 6) Contradiction — the most interesting contradiction in their personality, 7) Arc — what belief must they change (or refuse to change) by the end? Avoid character clichés: [list any you want me to avoid].
