Zero Mile script architecture mapped. Three-act structure with dual timeline — present-day investigation and 1970s origin story. The bridge between timelines is the physical location: the mile marker where everything converges. Working on the Act 2 pivot point.

World bible expanding. Texas landscape as character — the heat, the highways, the small-town politics. Real locations scouted via Google Earth: specific stretches of I-35, abandoned gas stations in McLennan County, the actual mile markers. Authenticity is the foundation.
