  "summary": "The Last Directory is a local ghost story experiment created to participate in the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 4: Ghost in the Machine. This project turns a fictional file index into three short ghost-story scenes using a small open-weight model running locally. Each scene is tied to a source chip that, when clicked, highlights the archive line that inspired the story. The starting image is a closed station with no owner for the red umbrella and an announcement queued for platform nine, despite having only eight platforms. The core of the project uses the Spark-X2.6-4B model, and the code is MIT licensed.",
