The prompt sequences actions: a gloved hand slices open a leather-bound book, extracts a data chip, then the character reacts to a creaking floorboard and scans the room. Google uses it under the Action section to show directing a story by sequencing actions and emotional changes. To adapt it, keep the order of actions and reactions and swap the object, setting and trigger.

- Prompt
- A gloved hand carefully slices open the spine of an ancient, leather-bound book with a scalpel. The hand then delicately extracts a tiny, metallic data chip hidden within the binding. The character's eyes, previously focused and calm, widen in a flash of alarm as a floorboard creaks off-screen. They quickly palm the chip, their head snapping up to scan the dimly lit room, their body tense and listening for any other sound
- What it produces
- Asks for a short suspense scene where a hidden data chip is cut out of an old book.
