Prompt

In a cold October morning at a wealthy suburban U.S. prep school courtyard, pale blue daylight and sharp shadows fall across three hundred white American teenagers in matching navy uniforms standing in rigid rows with hands over their hearts. Elias (17, white, clean-cut, tense, blazer buttoned tight) stands front-center clutching his backpack straps as a large German Shepherd security dog lunges in, snarling and clawing at the bag; Officer Miller (40s, white, stocky, campus security uniform) yanks the leash, stumbling. Medium shot tracks the dog’s violent tug, then a tight close-up as the zipper tears and blood-soaked white bandages spill onto the asphalt near Elias’s polished shoes; faces in the crowd freeze, phones half-raised. Principal Vance (50s, white, stern suit, controlled fury) steps in close, jaw clenched, and snaps, “Take the bag off. Now.” Elias, shaking, whispers, “Please… not here.” The camera holds on Elias’s trembling hands and the stained bandages as the courtyard falls into stunned silence, tension peaking under a low, ominous music cue. No logos, no brand names, no signage, no watermarks, no text overlays.
