When to use it

The chapter is written but the ending fizzles. Replace only the final paragraph to make readers tap 'next'.

The manuscript below is the final stretch of a serialized chapter. Rewrite only the last ~80 words and give three versions.
Rules:
- Each version uses a different cut type: (1) reveal — a fact the reader now knows and the hero does not; (2) interrupted action — stop one beat before the decisive move; (3) dialogue cut — end on a single short line of speech.
- Invent nothing new: use only the setups, characters and places already on the page.
- The final sentence must be under eight words.
- Label each version with its type only; no commentary.

The instruction exceeds 500 characters; the free run applies only the beginning. Copying applies the whole prompt.

Free runs use the fast model and return a short preview (about 300 words). Only the first ~1,000 words of manuscript are read.

How to get the most from it

Paste only the last 300–400 words. Feeding the whole chapter makes the model summarize instead of cut.
Do not pick one version; merge the strongest beats of two and polish by hand.
A reveal cut must be paid off in the first paragraph of the next chapter. No payoff plan? Use the interrupted-action cut.

Example output

[Reveal]
…Only then did she see the envelope in the drawer. The handwriting was hers. The date was three years from now.

[Interrupted action]
…He took the handle. Beyond the door, the breathing stopped. He turned it.

[Dialogue cut]
…"You killed him."
