Drafting Attempt 1 (Mental Outline):
In the Family Guy episode titled Peternormal Activity, the main characters engage in two separate storylines. First, the guys visit an abandoned asylum. They are looking for inspiration for a new horror movie idea. During this visit, they accidentally kill a man. They believed this man was keeping them hostage. Following the incident, the characters feel guilt and attempt to pin the murder on someone else. Meanwhile, Stewie Griffin is focused on Brian Griffin's glasses. Stewie is annoyed by Brian's behavior when he wears them, specifically that Brian acts pretentious. Stewie's goal is to destroy the glasses.
Checking Word Count and Content:
The draft above is very short (approx 110 words). I need to reach 280-380 words.
Wait, the instructions say: "If the synopsis is sparse, stay concise rather than guessing." and "Use only supplied facts."
The provided synopsis is extremely sparse. If I expand it to 280-380 words without adding any new facts, I will be repeating myself or using filler, which violates "original, neutral, encyclopedic prose."
