Prompt
Start with a homeless woman sitting on a cold street corner, surrounded by her tattered belongings. Show her tired face, her trembling hands clutching a thin blanket, and her downcast eyes as people briskly walk past her, ignoring her. Transition to a telephone pole nearby, where a colorful flyer with bold words, 'Jesus Loves You,' flutters gently in the breeze. Show her noticing the flyer, standing up slowly, and walking over to carefully pull it off. Focus on her face as she begins to tear up, staring at the flyer with a flicker of hope. Shift to her perspective as she looks up and notices a small building across the street with a sign that reads 'Hope Haven Shelter.' Capture her hesitation, clutching the flyer tightly, before gathering her courage and walking toward the shelter. Show the shelter door opening to reveal a group of friendly people smiling warmly at her. Highlight their gestures of kindness: one extends a hand to her, another places a comforting hand on her shoulder, and someone says, 'Welcome. Come in, you’re safe here.' Inside the shelter, show her sitting at a table with a hot meal in front of her, her hands gripping a warm cup, and her tentative smile as she looks around at others eating and laughing. Another person hands her a soft blanket, which she wraps around herself. End with her sitting on a clean bed, holding the flyer close to her chest, whispering, 'Thank you, Jesus,' with a tear rolling down her cheek paired with a soft smile. Fade to black with the flyer on the bed beside her.
Script
As the sun set over the city, a lone figure huddled on a street corner, surrounded by tattered belongings. Kaida's tired eyes, once bright with hope, now seemed lost in a sea of desperation. Her trembling hands clutched a thin blanket, a meager shield against the biting wind. People rushed past, ignoring her, as a colorful flyer on a nearby telephone pole fluttered in the breeze, reading 'Jesus Loves You.' Kaida's gaze lingered on the words, a flicker of hope igniting within. She stood, her eyes fixed on the flyer, and pulled it off. Tears welled up as she clutched it tightly, noticing a sign across the street: 'Hope Haven Shelter.'
