## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Autumn afternoon. A cracked TV flickers in a dim apartment.  
Men in kits hack and saw at each other on the pitch, limbs splintering like dry branches.  
The screen ruptures when they crawl out, still kicking.  
Feels like a VHS tape rotting in real time.

**Mood tags**: 3am-cult, body-horror, surreal, unhinged
