T - The Wash

Scene Night — THE WASH (PALM SPRINGS)
EXT. DESERT WASH — NIGHT

The wind moves like it remembers.
Sand drifts across tire marks and boot prints.
A truck idles in the dark, lights off.
A man steps out, shirt open, dust on his skin.
Another waits in the shadows, still, like part of the landscape.
No names. No words. Just the heat and the sound of breathing.
