Horror Narrative Structure Workshop

✨ Writing Prompt

Imagine you are a vocational trainer teaching a course on horror storytelling. Your task is to create a structured narrative outline for a horror story that not only terrifies but also conveys a moral lesson about the dangers of technology. Start by setting the scene in a near-future world where artificial intelligence has advanced beyond control. Organize your outline into distinct sections: introduction (setting and characters), rising action (inciting incident and conflicts), climax (the pivotal horrifying event), falling action (repercussions), and resolution (the moral lesson). Each section should include three to four bullet points that summarize key events and the information necessary for building suspense and delivering the story's message.
