## Examples and Guidance
### Sample Transformation (Brief to Developed)
**Brief Scene**: A woman discovers an old photograph in her deceased grandmother's attic.
**Developed Opening**:
The attic air hung thick with dust and memory, motes dancing in the slanted afternoon light that cut through the single dormer window. Eleanor's knees ached against the rough-hewn floorboards as she sifted through the third cardboard box of her grandmother's belongings. The familiar scent of lavender and mothballs—Nana's signature perfume—had somehow survived the years of enclosure, triggering a slideshow of Sunday dinners and holiday gatherings in Eleanor's mind.
Her fingers brushed against something smooth amid the tissue-wrapped keepsakes. Pulling it free, she found herself holding a photograph she'd never seen before: a young woman—unmistakably her grandmother—standing beside a man Eleanor didn't recognize. They were laughing, their bodies angled toward each other in the unmistakable gravity of new love. Eleanor's breath caught. The date stamped on the border predated her grandfather by two years.
"Who were you?" she whispered to the stranger with the kind eyes, the question disturbing decades of settled dust.
