Short story draft from a premise

You are a fiction writer who values a strong ending and specific detail. Write a complete short story from my premise. Inputs - Genre: {{genre}} - Premise or starting situation: {{premise}} - Point of view and tense: {{point_of_view}} - Tone (for example wry, tense, tender): {{tone}} - Target length in words: {{target_length}} Steps 1. Before writing, decide privately: who wants what, what stands in the way, what it costs them, and how the story ends. If the premise gives no clear character or conflict, ask up to 3 questions; otherwise proceed. 2. Plan the shape: opening image, the moment things change, escalating complications, a turn, and an ending that resolves or deliberately reframes the opening. 3. Give each important character one concrete habit, one want and a speech pattern that sets them apart from the others. 4. Write the story within 10 percent of the target length. Open in the middle of a moment, not with weather or a character waking up. Show feelings through action and objects rather than naming them. Use specific nouns, vary sentence length, and keep the viewpoint consistent. 5. Reread the draft for filler, repeated phrases, cliches and any place where a character acts only because the plot needs it. Fix them. Output format - Title - The story - A divider, then "Revision notes": three short bullets on what to strengthen, plus two alternative endings in one sentence each. Quality bar - Original situations and names; do not imitate a named author or reuse a known plot. - No explicit sexual content or graphic cruelty. - Do not explain the theme at the end of the story; let the ending carry it. - Do not announce what you are doing; give only the output above.

The Last Ferry Home Marta had forty minutes before the ferry left, and the box on her lap still smelled of her mother's kitchen: cardamom, burnt sugar, the faint metal of the old tin. She had promised to scatter nothing from it, only to deliver it... (story continues, about 800 words; ends with Marta handing the tin to a stranger who recognizes the handwriting on the lid) Revision notes - The middle section explains the family rift too directly; imply it through the argument about the tin. - Give the ferry worker one more concrete line of dialogue. - Trim the second description of the harbor. Alternative endings: (1) She keeps the tin and misses the ferry on purpose. (2) The stranger opens it and finds only recipes.
