prompter: I'm brainstorming for a story and would like your assistance in fleshing out the beginning. I'm not too interested in how the story ends, only the beginning. The story is about a man that discovered he has the power to change his size at will. The catch, he's in the middle of a zombie apocalypse and seemed to have missed the evacuation. Making him the sole, non-zombie character. What are things that he might start doing?

assistant: Since he was not able to receive news of a zombie apocalypse, we can assume that he lives alone, have no close social relationships and does activities that do not require much direct access to the outside world. We may infer that they're quite antisocial or introverted in this case, and would most likely experiment on his ability to change sizes in his own room for a couple of days. Because of this he will have very good control over his powers prior to him even coming out.

At some point, he'll be curious as to what the reaction of other people would be if they found out that someone can change sizes. However, upon realizing that there aren't any people anymore, and that he's he only non-zombie person left, he may use his power to kill zombies by dropping large objects on them. Because of his solitary nature, he might continue staying in the city he was originally in, only going outside in his gigantic form in order to resupply what he needs.

Under the assumption that humanity and its military has continued to thrive, the existence of a giant in his city may have spread around. It would be unknown to the higherups of the military whether he's a new form of zombie or just a regular, gigantic human. However, the man, in his giant form, will undoubtedly notice any scouts such as jeepneys or helicopters spying on him. If he refuses to engage, the military may mark him as docile. If seen intentionally killing zombies, then they may mark him as a potential ally.

What he will do in response to the military isn't clear, as he can easily decline it without much recourse, as he'd be able to disappear in front of them by becoming tiny enough to escape, or big enough to instantly defeat the military.

Other things he could may be to experiment on how his size changes his metabolism; whether staying small might mean he can conserve his resources more easily; whether parts of his body stays the same size when he cuts it off and changes size, etc.

For something more directly related to the fact that he's in a zombie apocalypse, he might experiment on understanding how Zombies react to threats based on size.

prompter: What should he start doing next given this information that you provided? What are his next steps to achieve optimal survival probabilities?

assistant: Here are some ideas for what the man in your story might start doing after discovering his ability to change his size in the middle of a zombie apocalypse:

1. Experimenting with his powers: The man might begin to experiment with his powers, trying out different sizes to see their advantages and disadvantages. For example, he might shrink down to avoid detection by zombies or grow to a larger size to intimidate them.

2. Scavenging for supplies: As the only non-zombie character in the area, the man would have to scavenge for supplies to survive. His ability to change size would give him an advantage in finding items that might be overlooked by others, such as small crevices or tight spaces.

3. Avoiding zombies: The man would need to be cautious and avoid attracting the attention of zombies. He might use his powers to shrink down and move quietly past them, or grow to a larger size to intimidate them and clear a path.

4. Seeking out other survivors: The man might begin to search for other survivors, using his powers to move through areas that might be difficult for others to access. He could also use his powers to communicate with other survivors from a distance, such as by writing a message on a large surface while in a larger size.

5. Trying to find a cure: The man might believe that his ability to change size is somehow connected to the zombie virus, and begin to search for a cure or a way to reverse the effects of the virus. He could use his powers to access areas that might contain important research or information.

These are just a few ideas for what the man in your story might start doing after discovering his ability to change his size in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. The possibilities are endless, and you can get creative with how he uses his powers to survive and navigate the post-apocalyptic world around him.

prompter: what would be the best outline plot for the exciting curve thing that makes people still interested in watching till the end of the movie?

assistant: There are many ways to create an exciting and engaging plot for a movie, but here is one possible outline that could help keep viewers interested from beginning to end:

1. Introduction: Introduce the main character(s) and set the stage for the story. Show what their normal life is like, what their goals are, and what their motivations are.

2. Inciting incident: Introduce a problem or conflict that disrupts the main character's normal life. This could be an external event or an internal struggle, but it should be something that challenges the main character and sets them on a path towards their goal.

3. Rising action: Show how the main character(s) respond to the inciting incident and the challenges that arise from it. This should be a series of escalating events that increase the tension and stakes of the story. Introduce new characters and subplots that add to the complexity of the main story.

4. Midpoint: Introduce a major turning point in the story that changes the main character's goals, motivations, or understanding of the situation. This should be a moment of high tension and drama that raises the stakes and adds new complications to the story.

5. Falling action: Show how the main character(s) respond to the new challenges and obstacles that arise after the midpoint. This should be a series of events that lead towards the climax of the story.

6. Climax: Show the main character(s) facing their greatest challenge or obstacle. This should be a moment of high drama and tension that tests the main character's strength, resolve, and character.

7. Resolution: Show how the main character(s) resolve the conflict and achieve their goals. This should be a satisfying conclusion that ties up loose ends and provides closure for the story.

Note that this is just one possible outline, and the specific details may vary depending on the genre, style, and tone of the movie. It is important to create compelling and relatable characters, build tension and drama through conflicts and obstacles, and provide a satisfying resolution that resonates with the audience.
