The story

Gregory had spent three hours on the eyeliner, but the antennae still twitched with a nervous energy that no amount of foundation could mask. He adjusted the strap of his dress and stared into the glass, wondering if the guests would notice the chitin or simply the glamour. The party started in twenty minutes, and Gregory was certain he had forgotten to lock the back door. He sighed, a dry, clicking sound, and reached for the hairspray.

The brief

A large locust stands in a dimly lit dressing room, wearing a sequined cocktail dress and dangling pearl earrings. It faces the mirror with its antennae trembling, reflecting a pale green light against mauve walls and a scattered pile of makeup brushes.

The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
