The story
The rabbit arrived at 9:15 for a position that had already been filled. The receptionist handed him a laminated card and told him to wait. He sat in the folding chair for four hours, adjusting his polyester tie every twenty minutes. The plant in the corner dropped a leaf onto the linoleum. No one called his name. He read the back of the card three times. When the lights flickered, he stood up and left without saying goodbye. The card expired at midnight.
The brief
A grey rabbit sits on a folding chair in a beige waiting room. It wears a polyester tie and holds a laminated card. Fluorescent lights hum overhead. A potted plant wilts in the corner.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
