The story
The courser had been told it was late for the parade, though no one had mentioned a parade existed. It waited in the stable, listening to the silence between the ticks of a broken clock, wondering if the oats in the bucket were a test or a trap. When the stable boy finally appeared, he only smiled, adjusted the horse’s blanket, and left again without speaking. The horse never moved its hoof.
The brief
A lone horse stands motionless in a sunlit stable, one hoof lifted slightly as if caught mid-step, its eyes wide and unfocused, straw scattered on the wooden floor, walls painted faded ochre with a single cracked window letting in pale gold light that catches the dust motes and the glossy sheen of its coat.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
