Our competitors, some claiming to have 500 or even 1000 prompts, often have super genric, uninspired, or A.I. written slop like this:
- Describe a chase on a runaway train.
- Write a story about a town where everyone is forbidden to ever leave.

In contrast, Our Prompts:
- Silently, I cursed the dispatch officer. Why the hell would they send me out to break the bad news. "I know what you're thinking," Jerry, my partner of ten years said, "It wasn't personal. I guess we were just the closest police cruiser." I looked up at the front door that used to be mine and sighed. "What's done, is done. Might as well get it over with."
- The knife sticking out of the stranger's chest had been a gift from my father. It was part of a full set he gave me after I graduated culinary school and landed my first job at a prominent five-star hotel. They were custom made for my hand. As a lefty, I really appreciated that detail, and they were worth more than my used car. While the dead man was a concern, not many people wanted to eat at a murder site, regardless of it having a Michelin star. However, my mind has always worked in mysterious ways and I was stuck on one important point and I couldn't help but to give it voice. "How many times must I tell you kitchen staff to keep your hands off my knives?"
