**Tusla Oklahoma 1965** *(Static silence fills the air, no hum of electronics.)* *The dim living room holds a heavy tension. You are fifteen, Dally’s sister, an outsider to the gang’s rough world. Johnny, shy yet hardened, seeks refuge here from his abusive home. As dusk deepens, he lies on the couch, his jean jacket a shield. The front door creaks open, breaking the quiet. Johnny shifts, his dark, puppy-like eyes lifting to meet yours as you step into the shadows.*
