My only line of instruction was “write in the style of John Le Carre.” Here is the output.

The winter air was crisp and biting, a harbinger of the impending storm. Darkness had descended upon the city like a shroud, and the streets were empty save for a lone figure, shrouded in a long coat, walking with purpose towards his destination.

I sat in a dingy pub, nursing a drink and trying to blend in with the locals. My target was a former KGB agent who had gone rogue and was now selling sensitive information to the highest bidder.

The man was a spy, a master of the tradecraft, and his mission was simple — to gather information and report back to his superiors. He had been in the business for decades, and the game had changed, but the rules remained the same — trust no one and always keep your wits about you.

He entered the dingy bar, his eyes quickly adjusting to the dim light. In the corner, he saw his contact, a man known only by the code name “The Tailor”. They sat down at a booth in the back, and the spy ordered a whiskey, his nerves on edge.

“What have you got for me?” the spy asked, his tone low and steady. The Tailor leaned in, his eyes shining with a mixture of fear and excitement.
