A Fleeing Man Reaches a City of Refuge

Prompt

Numbers 35: Six cities of refuge are appointed, that the slayer which killeth any person unawares may flee thither from the avenger of blood. A frightened, exhausted young man runs large and central up a dusty road toward the open wooden gate of a stone-walled hill city, one arm outstretched, while an elderly Levite in a plain robe stands in the gateway reaching out his hand to pull him to safety. Far behind on the road, a small distant figure of the pursuer can be seen. Urgent, merciful, hopeful mood in bright late-afternoon golden light. 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.
