Prompt

In a packed high school auditorium in a small U.S. town during an evening awards ceremony, harsh white stage lights glare down on a blue-and-gold scholarship banner and a long table of judges. Ethan, a bruised 17-year-old white teen in a borrowed suit jacket, freezes mid-aisle as Judge Kincaid (50s, white woman, crisp blazer, tight smile) leans into the microphone with icy calm. The camera starts in a wide shot of the stage and crowd, then tracks forward behind Ethan’s tense shoulders into a close-up of his bruised cheek and clenched jaw. From the back row, a tall white man in a plain dark coat strides into the aisle, eyes locked on the panel; the camera cuts to a medium shot as he stops and raises his phone slightly. He says, controlled and loud enough to carry, “I’m the anonymous donor.” Judge Kincaid’s smile falters as she snaps, “Sir, sit down.” The room falls into a tight, suffocating silence, phones half-raised, bodies rigid with shock. No logos, no brand names, no signage, no watermarks, no text overlays.
