It feels more of a plot than a prompt. You've set up a pretty complex prompt for it to be manageable within microfiction, and so it's just very hard to get any sort of engagement.
Prompts don't have to necessarily be simple, but you've setup the entire plot of a long short story, which makes it very hard for a writer to extend off that path. Just a heads up on future prompts.
