Yea essentially that's it. And the prompt can be used for any of the five elements. The rest is up to you and your imagination and the momentum of your story.
Although it's important to keep in mind that these are not set-in-stone rules. They can be bent and even broken, but it's always vital to know the rules before you break them.

Hi there, love this guide, it will be very helpful to play the two games I bought.
Silly question; I am a little bit confused about the elements of scenes, and how they relate to prompts
What I think the storytelling guide says is:
- the game (I.e. strange places) provides prompts
- you write a letter that turns each prompt into a scene
- a scene can be either action or revelation
- either way, a complete scene includes all five elements
Does that sound about right?
Thanks for the kind words!
