Prompt

A suburban high school parking lot, late afternoon, overcast October sky. Low gray light, long shadows. Close-up on a white American teenage girl — mid-teens, standing on crutches, backpack over one shoulder. Something small — a crumpled paper cup — hits her in the shoulder. It bounces off. She flinches, then goes still, jaw tight, eyes glassy but not crying — holding it. Across from her, a white American teenage boy in a letterman jacket leans out of a silver car window, smirking. He mimics limping with exaggerated arm movements, and his friends laugh from inside the car. The girl stares straight ahead. She doesn't move. Then — the light shifts. A shadow falls over the scene. The boy's smirk fades. His eyes travel upward, slowly. He sees something off-screen and goes still. Cut to: a mud-caked combat boot hitting the pavement. One step. Deliberate. The boy's hand tightens on the car door. He says nothing. The soldier steps into frame — white, mid-forties, worn camouflage uniform, calm like a man who has seen worse than this — and looks down at the boy without a word. No logos, no brand names, no watermarks, no text overlays, no subtitles. Cinematic, grounded realism, Netflix short-form drama tone.
