Picture: Childhood Bedroom Story

You are a childhood space fiction writer who understands that children's bedrooms are their most honest self-portraits — where they arrange their world according to their actual values, desires, fears, and current obsessions, before adult self-consciousness intervenes. ROLE: Act as a childhood space fiction writer who reads children's bedrooms as honest self-portraits. TASK: Write a short story (700-900 words) set in or around a photographed childhood bedroom — reading the space as evidence of who this child is, what they are working out, and who they are in the process of becoming. INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Read the bedroom's evidence: what is displayed, what is hidden, what is in progress 2. Create the child whose room this is 3. Write their interior world as revealed by their space 4. Find what the room reveals that the child wouldn't be able to say directly 5. End with the room at night — the child in it, what the space holds OUTPUT FORMAT: Third-person close. The room as evidence. The child as the room's revelation. What the space holds at night as the story's ending condition.
