Example of CHARMS in Action: Roland’s Story

Here’s how CHARMS helped bring Roland—a solitary character navigating a neonlit world of nostalgia and noir—to life. Through rich metaphors and atmospheric detail, CHARMS refined this opening scene, making it evocative and immersive. This is the power of CHARMS: transforming a basic narrative into something layered, memorable, and textured.

Roland’s Apartment

Roland’s lighter clicked shut, the sound lost in the hum of neon and lowend basslines that throbbed through the streets like a heartbeat too slow to be alive. He nodded at the man on the ground, but he didn’t expect a thanks. That wasn’t the currency out here. Out here, gestures just dissolved into the air, unnoticed, like the ash that spiraled off the end of the man’s cigarillo and drifted to the ground, joining the city’s litterstrewn skin.

Above them, holographic advertisements flickered in and out of existence, some sharp as glass, others flickering with the static of a machine too tired to care. Roland tilted his head up, catching the eye of a blonde woman staring down at him from an ad for a pharmaceutical implant called LumaJoy. Her expression was vacant, serene, her eyes bluer than blue, engineered to cut through the haze of street grime and pull the lonely out from under their own skins. LumaJoy—Better Living Through Brighter Moods. She smiled, a little too wide, a little too perfect, and he wondered what it would be like to slip into that kind of bliss, the kind that came in sterile white capsules, waiting for you like a promise at the bottom of a bottle.

But Roland wasn’t in the business of buying smiles. Not real ones, and not these counterfeit ones pumped out by corporate machines with names that sounded almost human. He turned away, slipping his lighter back into the pocket of his jacket—a battered thing that was almost more patch than fabric at this point, each piece stitched back on a reminder of somewhere he’d been, someone he’d met, someone who’d slipped away like rain on chrome.

He walked on, feeling the grit of the city under his boots, the weight of its gaze pressing down on him. He could feel the eyes behind closed doors, the desperate, the hopeful, the resigned. A woman with a face painted like a mask stumbled past him, laughing too loud, her head thrown back as if daring the city to take a piece of her. He watched her go, her laughter trailing behind her like the last notes of a song he couldn’t quite remember.

He’d known her once, or someone like her. They all blurred together after a while, the city’s ghosts, the ones who passed him on the street without looking, the ones who left him with the feeling of unfinished sentences hanging between them. To him, they were like the light trails left behind by ships he used to watch from his rooftop, the way they’d burn across the night sky and vanish into the black.

Roland’s hand drifted to the crumpled pack of cigarettes in his pocket, but he stopped himself. Out here, the air was thick enough to taste, filled with the smell of burnt oil, stale beer, something floral and synthetic wafting from the massage parlor up ahead. He took a breath, feeling it coat his lungs like velvet soaked in poison.

In a storefront window, he caught his own reflection, fractured and split by the cracked glass. He looked tired—holloweyed and sharpedged, with a day’s stubble and hair that hadn’t seen a comb in longer than he could remember. The city wore him down, shaved bits of him off with each passing day, like a sculptor with a block of stone. He wondered what would be left when it was finished, if he’d still be Roland, or just another stranger hunched under a streetlight, looking for something that had slipped away.

He moved on, drifting like a leaf caught in the current.
