Thief Flees Down a Moonlit Road from Nothing

Prompt

Proverbs 28: The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. On an empty, moonlit country road, a thief in a dark mantle clutching a stolen sack runs toward us in panic, large and central, glancing back over his shoulder in terror at nothing but his own long moonlit shadow; the road behind him is completely empty. Silver blue moonlight, a bright starry sky and dark olive trees along the road. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
