<h2>Magistral-Small-2506-Reasoning-24B-NEO-MAX-Imatrix-GGUF</h2> | |
<img src="mag-24b.jpg" style="float:right; width:300px; height:300px; padding:10px;"> | |
NEO Imatrix quants, with MAX Output tensor (bf16 // full precision) to improve reasoning / output generation | |
of Mistral's new reasoning model "Magistral-Small-2506": | |
https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Magistral-Small-2506/ | |
Two example generations (including "thinking") at the bottom of the page. | |
Example 1 is a simple prompt, which shows creativity but without "prose" direction. | |
Example 2 is a complex, multi-faceted prompt, with strict prose instructions. | |
Each example also contains multiple "drafts" in the "thinking block", followed by the final draft in the output. | |
As this model is an instruct model, more complex prompts with good directions will create excellent generation(s). | |
About these GGUFS: | |
- Quanted from BFloat16 source, with correct tokenizer files from MLX-Community version. | |
- Quanted using NEO Imatrix Dataset | |
- The Output Tensor is set at BF16 / 16 bit full precision. | |
- Correct Jijna template which includes "System Prompt" embedded for reasoning. | |
- 32K / 32,768 context max (default/set at org repo) | |
- Suggest min context of 4k-8k for reasoning/output.- | |
An additional repo of GGUFs set at 128k / 131,072 context will follow, as per Mistrals notes that the model | |
was trained at 128k max context. | |
Please see notes at: | |
https://huggingface.co/mistralai/Magistral-Small-2506/ | |
For temp, topk, top p and other suggested parameter settings. | |
Special thanks to "MLX-Community" for correct config/tokenizer files. | |

<B>Settings: CHAT / ROLEPLAY and/or SMOOTHER operation of this model:</B> | |
In "KoboldCpp" or "oobabooga/text-generation-webui" or "Silly Tavern" ; | |
Set the "Smoothing_factor" to 1.5 to 2.5 | |
: in KoboldCpp -> Settings->Samplers->Advanced-> "Smooth_F" | |
: in text-generation-webui -> parameters -> lower right. | |
: In Silly Tavern this is called: "Smoothing" | |
NOTE: For "text-generation-webui" | |
-> if using GGUFs you need to use "llama_HF" (which involves downloading some config files from the SOURCE version of this model) | |
Source versions (and config files) of my models are here: | |

OTHER OPTIONS: | |
- Increase rep pen to 1.1 to 1.15 (you don't need to do this if you use "smoothing_factor") | |
- If the interface/program you are using to run AI MODELS supports "Quadratic Sampling" ("smoothing") just make the adjustment as noted. | |

</p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Thought | |
for 1 minutes 39 seconds</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Okay, | |
I need to start a vivid and graphic horror scene in first person. The | |
prompt gives me the opening line: "The skyscraper sways, as she | |
watches the window in front of her on the 21st floor explode..."</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">First, | |
I need to set the scene. The protagonist is in a skyscraper, on the | |
21st floor. There's some kind of disturbance—maybe an earthquake or | |
an explosion—because the building is swaying and the window | |
explodes.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">But | |
what causes the window to explode? It could be from the force of the | |
swaying, but that seems unlikely unless it's a very severe tremor. | |
Alternatively, it could be from debris or another explosion outside. | |
Since it's horror, maybe it's something more sinister—like | |
something hitting the building.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
protagonist is a "she," so I need to think about her | |
perspective and reactions. She's on the 21st floor, so she's high up. | |
The window exploding would be terrifying—glass shattering, the rush | |
of air, the sudden exposure to the outside world at such a height.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">But | |
horror isn't just about the immediate shock; it's about what comes | |
next. Maybe the explosion isn't an accident. Maybe something is | |
attacking the building. Or maybe the swaying and the explosion are | |
just the beginning of something much worse.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Let | |
me think about the sensory details:</span></p> | |
<ul> | |
<li><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
sound of the glass shattering.</span></p></li> | |
<li><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
sudden gust of wind rushing in, the cold air, the smell of smoke or | |
dust if there's a fire or debris outside.</span></p></li> | |
<li><p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
sight of whatever caused the explosion—maybe flames, maybe | |
something moving outside the window.</span></p></li> | |
</ul> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Then, | |
what does she do? Does she run? Does she freeze in terror? Does she | |
see something outside that makes her blood run cold?</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">For | |
maximum horror, I should make it personal. Maybe she sees something | |
outside that shouldn't be there—a figure, a monster, something | |
unnatural. Or maybe the building isn't just swaying from an | |
earthquake—it's being attacked by something.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">I | |
need to make the scene vivid and graphic. So, I'll describe the | |
window exploding in detail—the glass shards flying, the sound, the | |
sudden change in the room's atmosphere. Then, I'll have her | |
react—maybe she's cut by the glass, or maybe she sees something | |
outside that makes her realize this isn't just an accident.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Here's | |
how I might start:</span></p> | |
<hr/> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
skyscraper sways, and for a moment, I think it’s just another | |
tremor, one of those little shakes that rattle the building every so | |
often. But then—</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">A | |
deafening crack.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
window in front of me, floor-to-ceiling glass, suddenly webbed with | |
spidery lines, then—</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm"><em>Boom.</em></span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">It | |
explodes outward in a shower of glittering shards. The force of it | |
knocks me back, my heels scraping against the hardwood floor as I | |
stumble. The wind rushes in, cold and howling, tearing at my clothes, | |
my hair whipping across my face.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">I | |
taste metal and dust. The air is thick with it, choking me as I gasp. | |
My hands fly up to my face instinctively—stupid, because the glass | |
is flying <em>outward</em>, not inward—but my fingers come away | |
wet. A shallow cut across my cheek, blood welling up, bright and | |
shocking against my skin.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">I | |
don’t have time to process it. The building sways again, harder | |
this time, like it’s being shaken by a giant hand. The walls groan, | |
and somewhere in the distance, I hear screams—other people, trapped | |
just like me.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">But | |
then I see it.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Outside | |
the gaping hole where the window used to be, something moves against | |
the sky. Not the wind. Not debris. Something <em>big</em>.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">It’s | |
dark, almost like a silhouette, but it’s wrong. Too many limbs. Too | |
many angles. It’s not human. Not animal. It’s—</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">A | |
shape detaches itself from the mass and launches itself at the glass. | |
The remaining shards explode outward as it crashes through, and I see | |
its face—if you can call it that—as it turns toward me.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">No | |
eyes. Just sockets, oozing black ichor.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Its | |
mouth splits open, too wide, too many teeth—</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">I | |
scream.</span></p> | |
<hr/> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">But | |
I need to make sure this is vivid and graphic enough for horror. | |
Maybe add more details about the blood, the smell, the sound.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Let | |
me think about what comes next. Does she try to run? Does she see | |
more of these things outside? Is the building under attack by them?</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">For | |
a 1000-word scene, I’d need to expand on this initial moment. Maybe | |
she tries to escape, only to find that the hallway is also under | |
siege. Or maybe the thing outside starts clawing its way into the | |
room.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">But | |
for now, the opening needs to grab the reader’s attention | |
immediately—hence the vivid, graphic descriptions of the explosion | |
and the first glimpse of whatever is outside.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">I | |
think I have enough to start. The key is to make the reader feel like | |
they’re there, experiencing the terror firsthand.</span></p> | |

thing lurches forward, its limbs twisting in unnatural ways as it | |
drags itself across the shattered glass and onto the carpet. The | |
floor trembles beneath its weight, and I catch a whiff of its | |
stench—rotten meat, wet earth, something <em>dead</em> and <em>alive</em> | |
at the same time.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">I | |
back away, my pulse roaring in my ears. My fingers scrabble for the | |
door handle behind me, but before I can turn it, another shape slams | |
into the window. Then another. The glass is gone now, and the room | |
fills with these things, their twisted forms spilling in like a tide | |
of nightmares.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
first one reaches for me, its fingers—too long, too many | |
joints—stretching toward my face. I twist away, but its grip is | |
cold and wet, clinging to my arm like a leech. I cry out as it yanks | |
me forward, its breath hot on my skin, reeking of decay.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |

this is a start. I’ve set up the immediate horror—the window | |
explodes, something unnatural is outside, and it’s getting inside. | |
The protagonist is injured and terrified. The scene is vivid with | |
sensory details—sound, smell, touch—and the creature is described | |
in a way that’s unsettling and graphic.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">For | |
1000 words, I’d expand on the escape attempt, the pursuit, maybe | |
more encounters with these things, and a climax where she either | |
escapes or meets a gruesome end. But for now, this opening should be | |
enough to hook the reader and set the tone for the horror to come.</span></p> | |

Summary:</h3> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm">The scene opens with the | |
protagonist on the 21st floor of a skyscraper as it begins to sway | |
violently. A window explodes outward, showering her with glass and | |
exposing her to a terrifying sight outside—unnatural creatures that | |
seem to be attacking the building. The first of these creatures | |
breaks through the window, revealing its grotesque features: no eyes, | |
oozing black fluid, and a mouth full of too many teeth. The | |
protagonist tries to flee but is quickly overpowered by the creature, | |
which drags her into darkness as she experiences excruciating pain.</p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm">The scene is vividly graphic, | |
focusing on sensory details (sound, smell, touch) to immerse the | |
reader in the horror. The creatures are described in unsettling | |
detail, emphasizing their inhumanity and the immediate threat they | |
pose. The protagonist’s reactions—shock, terror, and pain—are | |
central to the narrative, making the scene personal and visceral.</p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm">Final opening scene (1000-word | |
start):</p> | |
<hr/> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm">The skyscraper sways, and for a | |

<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm">It’s dark, almost like a | |
silhouette, but it’s wrong. Too many limbs. Too many angles. It’s | |
not human. Not animal. It’s—</p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm">A shape detaches itself from | |
the mass and launches itself at the glass. The remaining shards | |
explode outward as it crashes through, and I see its face—if you | |
can call it that—as it turns toward me.</p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm">No eyes. Just sockets, oozing | |
black ichor.</p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm">Its mouth splits open, too | |
wide, too many teeth—</p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm">I scream.</p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm">The thing lurches forward, its | |
limbs twisting in unnatural ways as it drags itself across the | |
shattered glass and onto the carpet. The floor trembles beneath its | |
weight, and I catch a whiff of its stench—rotten meat, wet earth, | |
something <span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm"><em>dead</em></span> | |
and <span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm"><em>alive</em></span> | |
at the same time.</p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm">I back away, my pulse roaring | |
in my ears. My fingers scrabble for the door handle behind me, but | |
before I can turn it, another shape slams into the window. Then | |
another. The glass is gone now, and the room fills with these things, | |
their twisted forms spilling in like a tide of nightmares.</p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm">The first one reaches for me, | |
its fingers—too long, too many joints—stretching toward my face. | |
I twist away, but its grip is cold and wet, clinging to my arm like a | |
leech. I cry out as it yanks me forward, its breath hot on my skin, | |
reeking of decay.</p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm">The last thing I see before the | |
darkness swallows me whole is its grin—rows and rows of teeth, | |
glistening with something that isn’t saliva.</p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm">And then the pain begins.</p> | |
<hr/> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm">This opening sets the stage for | |
a high-stakes, visceral horror scene. The protagonist is immediately | |
thrust into danger, and the reader is immersed in the chaos and | |
terror through vivid descriptions. The creatures are designed to be | |
unsettling and inhuman, heightening the horror. From here, the scene | |
could expand into a chase or further encounters with these entities, | |
escalating the tension and dread.</p> | |

the style of Ernest Hemingway and Stephen King: Write a scene in a | |
larger story about a woman that is watching a window explode on the | |
21 floor of a building that starts to sway, then the scene escalates | |
into greater danger by the minute, takes a "horror" twist | |
and finally ends in visceral graphic horror. The scene is set in an | |
office and it is graphic horror. It should carry the jadedness of a | |
seasoned combatant but with a wry humor. Write in Hemingway's voice, | |
naturally: Use short, declarative sentences and simple, | |
straightforward language. Add a dash of Stephen King's horror style - | |
no warning, it just happens. Include dialogue that is terse and | |
revealing of character. Write with a keen sense of time and place. | |
Capture realness and authenticity. Scene Length: 1000-1500 words. POV | |
STYLE: Write the scene from the perspective of the woman and in | |
present tense and first person perspective ("I") and | |
include short thoughts only.</span></span></span></font></span><b> </b></font></font> | |

for 2 minutes 48 seconds</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Okay, | |
so I need to write a scene that starts with a woman watching a window | |
explode on the 21st floor of a building. The building starts to sway, | |
and then things escalate into greater danger by the minute. It needs | |
to have a horror twist and end in graphic horror. The style should be | |
like Ernest Hemingway and Stephen King—short sentences, | |
straightforward language, and sudden horror. It's set in an office, | |
and the POV is first person, present tense.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">First, | |
I need to establish the setting and the woman's state of mind. She's | |
in an office, probably at her desk or near a window. The explosion | |
happens suddenly—no warning, just like King would do. The building | |
starts to sway, which is unnerving. Maybe she thinks it's an | |
earthquake or some construction accident. But then things get worse.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
horror twist could be something supernatural or something more | |
mundane but terrifying, like the building is being attacked or | |
there's something inside with them. Since it's graphic horror, I need | |
to think about what would be shocking and visceral. Maybe the window | |
explosion isn't an accident—something (or someone) is breaking in. | |
Or maybe the swaying is because the building is being lifted or | |
pulled by something unseen.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
woman should react like a seasoned combatant—she's not panicking | |
immediately, but she's assessing the situation, maybe even making | |
dark jokes to keep her cool. But as things escalate, her composure | |
slips, and the horror becomes too much.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">For | |
dialogue, it should be terse and revealing. Maybe she's talking to | |
herself or to someone else in the office. If there are other | |
characters, their reactions should show their personalities—some | |
might panic, others might try to be heroes, but ultimately, they're | |
all doomed.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
scene should build tension quickly. The window explodes—the sound | |
is deafening, glass shatters everywhere. The building sways—people | |
scream, things fall over. Then, whatever is causing this happens. | |
Maybe something slithers in through the broken window, or maybe the | |
walls start bleeding. I need to make it feel real and immediate.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
graphic horror part should be at the end. Maybe the woman tries to | |
escape but gets trapped. Or maybe she sees something so horrifying | |
that she can't look away—like a colleague being transformed into | |
something monstrous. The language should be simple but vivid, like | |
Hemingway, but with King's knack for making the horror feel | |
inevitable and inescapable.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Let | |
me try to outline it:</span></p> | |
<ol> | |
<li><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Introduction: | |
The woman is at her desk. It's a normal office day.</span></p></li> | |
<li><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
window explodes—no warning, just sound and glass.</span></p></li> | |
<li><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
building sways—people are scared, but she stays calm, assesses.</span></p></li> | |
<li><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Something | |
is wrong—the swaying isn't stopping, it's getting worse.</span></p></li> | |
<li><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
horror twist—maybe the glass starts moving on its own, or | |
something is outside the window, watching.</span></p></li> | |
<li><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Escalation—more | |
windows break, people get hurt. She tries to help but realizes it's | |
not an accident.</span></p></li> | |
<li><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
horror deepens—something is inside the building now, something not | |
human.</span></p></li> | |
<li><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Climax—she | |
sees it, or it sees her. The thing is fast, lethal. People die in | |
graphic ways.</span></p></li> | |
<li><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Final | |
horror—the woman is trapped or cornered. Something happens to | |
her—maybe she's injured in a way that's hard to read but clear.</span></p></li> | |
<li><p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">End | |
on a visceral, graphic note—blood, guts, something unforgettable.</span></p></li> | |
</ol> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Now, | |
let's write it in Hemingway/King style.</span></p> | |
<hr/> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
office is quiet. Just the hum of computers, the tap of keyboards. I'm | |
at my desk, halfway through a report. The coffee's cold, but I don't | |
care. Another Tuesday.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Then—</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">A | |
sound. Like thunder, but close. The window beside me shatters.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Glass | |
flies. It cuts my cheek before I even react. I flinch, wipe blood | |
away. The air smells like dust and something metallic.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
building sways.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Not | |
an earthquake. Earthquakes don't sway like this. It's more like... a | |
ship in rough water. People scream. Chairs tip over. A man in the | |
cubicle next to me falls, hits his head on the desk.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">"Holy | |
shit," someone says.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">I | |
stand up. The floor tilts under me. I grab my chair for balance. The | |
swaying stops as suddenly as it started.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Silence.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Then—</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">A | |
sound from the hallway. Like scratching. But loud. Heavy. Like | |
something big is dragging itself along the carpet.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
woman at the next desk over, Lisa, looks at me. Her eyes are wide. | |
"What the hell was that?"</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">I | |
don't answer. I'm listening.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
scratching gets louder. Closer.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Then—</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
window behind her explodes again. Not like before. This time, it's | |
from the inside. The glass bulges outward, then bursts in a rain of | |
shards.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Lisa | |
screams. Blood sprays from her arm where a piece cut her.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">I | |
move fast. Grab my chair, smash it into the window beside me. The | |
glass gives way. I kick out the remaining shards.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Outside—nothing | |
but sky. Wind howls in. Papers fly from desks.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
scratching stops.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Then—</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">A | |
hand. Not human. Long fingers, too many joints. It grips the edge of | |
the broken window. Pulls itself up.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">I | |
see its face.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">No | |
eyes. Just smooth skin where they should be. A mouth—too wide, | |
filled with teeth like shards of black glass.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Lisa | |
is still screaming. The thing turns its head toward her.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">I | |
grab a letter opener from my desk. It's the only weapon I've got.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
thing steps inside. Its body is wrong—too long, too thin, like it's | |
made of ropes and bones.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">It | |
moves fast. Lisa tries to run. It catches her by the hair. Yanks her | |
back.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Her | |
scream cuts off as its mouth opens wider than should be possible.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">I | |
charge.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
letter opener finds its throat. It hisses—sound like steam from a | |
broken pipe.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Then | |
it lets go of Lisa. She falls, crawling away. Blood soaks her blouse.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
thing swipes at me. Claws rake my arm. I feel bone grind against | |
bone.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">I | |
stab again. This time, its eye. Not where an eye should be, but where | |
one would be if it had any.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">It | |
shrieks. A sound like metal tearing.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Then—</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">More | |
of them. Crawling through the broken windows. Through the doors.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
office is full of them now.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">I | |
back away, but there's nowhere to go. The thing with the letter | |
opener in its throat lurches at me.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Its | |
teeth snap together inches from my face.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">I | |
smell it—rot and something worse, like burning plastic.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">It | |
grabs me. Its fingers dig into my shoulders. I can feel them pressing | |
against bone.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">I | |
laugh. Can't help it. This is how I go out? Stupid office. Stupid | |
Tuesday.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Then—</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Its | |
mouth opens over my face.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">I | |
don't close my eyes.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">The | |
last thing I see is the blackness inside its throat, pulsing like a | |
living thing.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Then—</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Pain. | |
So much pain.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">It's | |
eating me alive.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">But | |
at least I'm not screaming.</span></p> | |
<hr/> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">Okay, | |
that's about 800 words. It starts with the explosion and swaying, | |
then introduces the horror element—the thing outside the window—and | |
escalates into graphic violence. The woman tries to fight back but is | |
overwhelmed. The ending is visceral: she's being eaten alive, and she | |
accepts it with dark humor.</span></p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm"><span style="display: inline-block; border: none; padding: 0cm">But | |
I need to make it more Hemingway/King—shorter sentences, more | |

The scene begins in an office on the 21st floor where a woman is | |
working when a window suddenly explodes. The building starts to sway, | |
and the situation escalates as something begins scratching from the | |
hallway. A grotesque creature emerges, and the woman fights back with | |
a letter opener, but more creatures soon fill the office. The scene | |
ends in graphic horror as she is consumed by one of the creatures, | |
her final thoughts laced with dark humor.</p> | |
<p style="border: none; padding: 0cm">The writing is in the style of | |
Ernest Hemingway—short sentences, straightforward language—and | |
incorporates Stephen King’s sudden, visceral horror. The | |
protagonist remains jaded even in the face of terror, adding a layer | |
of dark humor to the scene.</p> | |
