Help me develop a story using the three-act structure. Genre: {{genre}} Audience: {{audience}} Tone: {{tone}} Theme: {{theme}} Rough premise or characters I have so far: {{premise}} Act 1 (Setup): protagonist, ordinary world, inciting incident. Act 2 (Confrontation): rising stakes, midpoint twist, low point. Act 3 (Resolution): climax, resolution, character arc.
