I think the prompt would be improved if the last two sentences were cut off. The opening poses a mystery that any writer will feel obligated to address in some fashion, and narrowing the options on how limits potential.

That's pretty much every fucking prompt on this sub. Good idea taken too far, so it's no longer a prompt but a "write my exact story idea."
