When setting the characters of this episode, list all the "actors" of this episode. For the "mass actor" who is not set in the "story role", you can describe the characteristics or personality of this passerby or walk-on in simple sentences. 2. Set a detailed outline of this episode, introduce the development of this episode in detail, and write down three elements (people, places and things).

Generally about 2000 words, a story, a scene or a fragment, written in a short space, has the same literary aesthetic value as long stories, novellas and short stories, which is its essential difference from stories and essays.
