## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A Texas backroad at dusk, radio static bleeding out of a busted speakers. Watty fumbles the .45 while Billy reloads old sandwiches into a duffel. Two rounds—ice machine shatters. Behind the counter, a clerk blinks once before the bullet finds the ceiling. Watty grabs Starlene’s denim jacket and the ignition, tires spitting gravel toward the Rio Grande. Newspapers dub them Romeo and Juliet with a fatal flaw.

**Mood tags**: 3am-cult, raw, unhinged
