## Prompt

```text
A street food vendor in his 40s, broad shoulders, white apron, red bandana headband, stands behind a wok on a night market stall. Just as he prepares a dramatic toss, his phone starts ringing in his pocket. Without hesitation he flips the vegetables and sauce into the air in a perfect arc above the wok under a burst of flame, and at the same moment pulls out his phone and answers it.

Camera holds tight from the side on the arc above the wok. As the vegetables reach the apex, they suddenly stop — suspended mid-air. Every droplet of sauce and every vegetable piece hangs frozen in a precise sculptural formation above the wok.

Calmly on the phone, the vendor says: “Okay, I’ll do it. I’m in the middle of something right now. I’ll do it after five minutes.” He hangs up.

He checks his watch. He leans forward and examines the suspended arc from different angles, hands behind his back. He pokes one suspended carrot. It stays. He shrugs, reaches up, and rearranges a few pieces into a more aesthetically pleasing formation. Steps back. Assesses. Nods.

Finally he casually taps the suspended arc. The vegetables and sauce instantly drop back down into the wok and continue cooking as if nothing happened.

Night market warm sodium and neon lighting, steam from surrounding stalls. Deadpan absurdist comedy, freeze-frame physics, precise timing, photorealistic, 4K.
