      "premise": "Two lighthouse keepers notice that the evening supply boat has not cleared the reef. When the storm knocks out the main lamp, they have to keep a rescue crew oriented long enough to bring the boat home.",
      "arc": "Opening: an overdue supply boat breaks routine. Deepening: weather and equipment failure remove normal safety. Fracture: Eli leaves the lighthouse to guide the rescue while Mara remains behind. Return: old tools and small actions bridge the failure until the beacon returns. Residue: the event disappears back into ordinary work, except for a few lines in a logbook.",

      "title": "The Pack",
      "premise": "A wolf pack crosses a hard winter, hunts successfully, raises pups, and then loses a young male to dispersal. The story follows behaviour and seasonal pressure rather than giving the wolves human motives.",
      "arc": "Opening: a pack enters winter following prey. Deepening: energy, coordination, and hunting shape behaviour. Fracture: a young male is injured and becomes peripheral. Return/transformation: spring brings pups while the young male increasingly ranges alone. Residue: he disperses into a new valley, leaving the old pack intact behind him.",

      "title": "The Verge",
      "premise": "A seed germinates in disturbed soil beside a path, grows through one season, flowers, dries, and disperses its seeds. The story is told through plant processes rather than a humanized inner voice.",
      "arc": "Opening: water triggers germination. Deepening: the plant becomes photosynthetically independent and builds hidden roots. Fracture/change: competition and drought limit growth. Return/transformation: flowering converts growth into reproduction. Residue: the plant dies back while seeds disperse beyond it.",

      "premise": "A nutrient pulse enters a small body of water, allowing microorganisms to multiply quickly. The bloom consumes what made it possible, conditions change, and only a smaller population remains.",
      "arc": "Opening: a nutrient pulse enters water. Deepening: microbes divide and different species exploit gradients. Fracture: crowding, waste, oxygen loss, predation, and infection change the conditions. Return/transformation: the bloom collapses into a different community. Residue: the water looks unchanged at human scale while its microscopic composition has been altered.",

      "arc": "Opening: a surveyor enters a district officially considered empty. Deepening: small signs contradict the record. Fracture: she finds fresh evidence and then meets residents living outside the city's normal systems. Return/transformation: the clearance is delayed and people are moved. Residue: the survey procedure itself changes, carrying the lesson forward without turning it into a speech.",

      "arc": "Opening: a child breaks a valued cup. Deepening: the family chooses repair and continues using it. Fracture/change: age and death remove the cup from its old routine. Return/transformation: Nina rediscovers it after years in storage. Residue: the cup is used again, and its visible seams prompt a simple story for the next generation.",
      "lens": "Human domestic life through one object: accident, craft repair, repeated use, storage, inheritance, and reuse.",

      "arc": "Opening: a young worker joins the first tower in a new district. Deepening: the building hides the labour that made it and becomes ordinary as more towers rise. Fracture/change: the worker ages, is injured, and leaves construction while the city continues. Return/transformation: he returns to a district using newer methods. Residue: the tower remains one private point of recognition inside a city that no longer needs his story to function.",

      "arc": "Opening: a designed object becomes physical through machining and assembly. Deepening: the phone passes through a distributed factory and logistics system before becoming personal. Fracture/change: years of use end in damage and an economic decision not to repair. Return/transformation: the device enters e-waste processing.

      "arc": "Opening: warm humid air builds a convective cloud. Deepening: rain, downdrafts, and electrical charge organize the storm. Fracture/change: the storm crosses land at peak intensity.
