The story

He had applied for the job after seeing the ad in the classifieds under 'Outdoor Enthusiasts Welcome'. No one questioned the antlers during the interview — they assumed it was a costume. Now, three weeks in, he files TPS reports with his muzzle, avoids eye contact at the water cooler, and wonders if the moose-shaped stress ball on his desk is a passive-aggressive hint or just bad decor. He still hasn’t figured out how to log out of the system.

The brief

A lanky moose stands awkwardly in a dimly lit office cubicle, wearing a crooked name tag that reads 'Intern', one hoof resting on a keyboard while the other hangs limp, fluorescent lights casting a sickly glow over beige walls and a half-eaten sandwich on the desk.

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