Why this prompt works

Shorts reward tight pacing and loops that inflate watch time. This prompt front-loads a curiosity hook, cuts dead air, and engineers a looping ending — the tricks that push a Short into more feeds.

How to customize it

Design the ending to flow back into the start for replays.
Cut every line that doesn't earn its place.
Keep the CTA light so it doesn't break the loop.

Tip: replace the parts in [square brackets] with your own details before you send. The more specific you are — audience, tone, goal, constraints — the better the AI output.
