Prompt

In a quiet suburban U.S. cul-de-sac at midnight during a brutal winter cold snap, a single porch light casts a harsh yellow cone onto snow and an icy driveway. Leo, a soaked white American teenage boy (15, slim, wet hoodie and jeans, trembling hard), stumbles backward as his front door slams shut behind him. A white American middle-aged woman (Aunt Martha, late 40s, robe, hair in rollers, furious and rigid) stands just inside the doorway, then snaps the deadbolt with a sharp motion. Medium shot follows Leo’s shivering hands reaching toward the door; close-up on the lock clicking. From the neighboring house, a tall white American older man (Judge Miller, 60s, robe, stern face) appears in a lit window, watching with controlled shock. A massive Saint Bernard rushes in from the side and presses against Leo’s legs, then drops over him protectively. Tight close-up on Leo’s wide eyes as he whispers, “Please… don’t lock me out.” Cut to Martha’s cold stare as she spits, “Get out and don’t come back.” The air is tense and silent except for wind and Leo’s ragged breathing; cinematic, grounded realism, no logos, no brand names, no signage, no watermarks, no text overlays.
