Prompt

Inside a small-town American diner on a Sunday morning, bright cool daylight pours through front windows and reflects off chrome trim, the air tense and silent. Walter (90, white American, thin, white hair, faded flannel, seated rigid in a back booth) stares up as a scar-jawed biker leader (40s, white American, bulky, shaved head, leather vest, tattoos) yanks Walter’s carved wooden cane off the table and twirls it with a cruel grin. Medium shot follows the biker leaning in, crowd of frightened diners frozen behind him; close-up on Walter’s steady hand flipping open an old flip phone with a sharp click. Walter says, low and controlled, “Put it back.” The biker scoffs, “Who you calling, grandpa?” Camera pushes into Walter’s unblinking eyes as distant engine rumble begins to vibrate the coffee cup on the table. Grounded realism, high tension, no logos, no brand names, no signage, no watermarks, no text overlays.
