+prompt:
+  scene: "A rows-of-trees orchard in late autumn at twilight, every gnarled branch hung with pale ivory fruit shaped like small skulls and knucklebones that gleam softly like polished pears. In the center row stands a tall scarecrow in a rotted black coat and straw hat, burlap face stitched with a thin smile, arms stretched on a crossbeam, small crows perched on its shoulders. Symmetrical one-point perspective down the central aisle."
+  environment: "Rolling fields under a bruised violet and orange sky, mist clinging low to the ground, fallen leaves in copper and rust covering the earth. Wooden harvest crates filled with ivory fruit sit between the trees, and a crooked farmhouse with one lit window is visible far at the end of the aisle. Fog bleeds between the trunks."
+  style: "Folk-horror pastoral in the vein of Wicker Man and Andrew Wyeth: warm harvest palette of rust, ochre and violet against pale ivory highlights. Photorealistic bark, burlap and bone-smooth fruit texture, cold backlight rimming every branch, volumetric low fog. 8K cinematic render, calm and quietly sinister."
+  video: "A cold wind sets the branches swaying and the ivory fruit clicking together like soft wind chimes. Leaves tumble down the aisle, mist rolls between the trunks, the crows lift off in a flurry. The scarecrow's head slowly turns toward the camera. Camera holds static throughout."

+title: "The Clockwork Oracle"
+description: "In a temple of brass and glass, a thousand gears turn behind the eyes of the machine that has been answering questions for six centuries."

+prompt:
+  scene: "A towering seated automaton oracle of polished brass and copper fills the center of a vast temple, its face a serene mask with tall slit eyes that glow warm gold, hands resting open on its knees. Its chest is open like a cabinet, revealing intricate interlocking gears, escapements and a slowly beating pendulum heart. Wide symmetrical frontal shot from the base of the steps, one pilgrim in a hooded cloak kneeling small before it."
+  environment: "A circular temple with a domed glass ceiling threaded by iron ribs, shafts of dusty sunlight falling on the oracle. Walls of clock faces in every size tick out of sync, brass pipes snake along the floor, hanging chains and counterweights disappear into high shadow. Scrolls and offerings lie at the steps, steam drifting in thin plumes from vents."
+  style: "Baroque steampunk grandeur with the precision of a macro watch photograph. Warm gold, copper and verdigris palette against deep shadow, photorealistic metal with fingerprints and patina, tiny gears rendered in exact detail, volumetric sunlight through steam. 8K cinematic render, symmetrical and monumental."
+  video: "Hundreds of gears inside the open chest turn in shifting interlocked rhythms, the pendulum swinging. The golden eyes brighten and refocus on the kneeling pilgrim. Steam puffs from the vents, clock hands sweep, dust turns in the sunbeams. Camera holds static throughout."

+title: "The Ember Bride"
+description: "She walks the ruined chapel aisle in a gown of living cinders, and where she passes the stone remembers being fire."

+prompt:
+  scene: "A bride in a long gown made of glowing cinders and black lace walks slowly down the aisle of a ruined stone chapel, seen from the far end in a wide symmetrical shot. Her veil is a drifting plume of smoke and sparks, the train of her dress trailing glowing coals across the floor, her face calm, eyes faintly lit from within. She carries a bouquet of blackened roses that smolder at their petals."
+  environment: "A roofless Gothic chapel open to a deep violet night sky, ivy and moss over broken pews, tall lancet windows with no glass. Rows of candles burn along the aisle and on the altar, the stone floor cracking with glowing orange veins where she steps. Ash falls like pale confetti, and a ring of dead black trees stands beyond the walls."
+  style: "Dark romantic gothic fantasy, a fusion of Pre-Raphaelite beauty and volcanic spectacle. Palette of molten orange and ember red against cold violet and stone grey, photorealistic fabric of cinder and lace, incandescent particulate light, rich contrast. 8K cinematic render, elegant, mournful and fierce."
+  video: "The bride advances a few slow steps toward the camera, her gown shedding sparks and glowing ash that drift upward. Cracks of orange light race across the stone behind her. The candles flare, the smoky veil streams in the wind. Camera holds static throughout."

+title: "The Midnight Carousel"
+description: "Snow falls on an abandoned fairground, and the carousel is turning again — its painted horses carrying riders no one can see."

+  scene: "An ornate antique carousel stands lit in an abandoned snow-covered fairground at midnight, slowly turning with its painted wooden horses rising and falling on brass poles. Every horse has glass eyes catching the light and flaking gilded manes, saddles empty yet dipped slightly as if weighted by invisible riders. Wide centered shot with the carousel dominating the frame under a canopy of faded scarlet and cream stripes."
+  environment: "A derelict fairground blanketed in deep snow: rusted ferris wheel silhouetted behind, shuttered ticket booths, strings of dead bulbs sagging between poles, a toppled cotton candy cart. Heavy fat snowflakes fall through the warm bulb-light of the carousel, which is the only illumination in the dark blue night. Footprints of small children appear in the snow around it, leading toward the carousel but not away."
+  style: "Nostalgic winter-night ghost story, a mix of vintage Kodachrome warmth and chilling stillness. Amber carousel bulbs against deep cobalt night, hyper-detailed chipped paint, brass reflections, bokeh snowfall at multiple depths. 8K photorealistic cinematic render, shallow depth of field, quiet melancholy."
+  video: "The carousel turns at a steady slow pace, horses rising and falling in gentle rhythm, bulbs twinkling. Snowflakes swirl around the rotating canopy. New small footprints appear one by one in the snow beside it. Camera holds static throughout."
