Memoir Excerpt template

Draft - under review

This format is a Stream-B breadth candidate under maintainer review and is not yet part of the stable catalog.

Canonical template for the Memoir Excerpt format.

## Opening: Time, Place, and Entry into Scene
[Orient the reader precisely. Where are we? When? Who is present? Enter the moment,
not the meaning.]

## Scene in Motion
[Characters act, speak, and move. Sensory detail accumulates: what is seen, heard,
felt, said. Narrate from inside the moment, not from above it.]

## The Shape of What Happened
[The event unfolds. Something changes, escalates, or reveals itself. Follow the
experience forward through time rather than summarizing it from outside.]

## Closing Image or Moment
[The scene closes. No lesson is drawn. The final image or action carries whatever
the scene has earned.]
