AI-generated painting and story
The story
The reindeer had been there since 1987, when the family stopped believing in magic and started believing in storage solutions. It never ate, never slept, never blinked — just stood, waiting for the day someone would look up and remember why they’d put the tinsel there in the first place. No one ever did. The lights stayed off. The reindeer stayed. It was not haunted. It was simply thorough.
The brief
A reindeer with calm, unblinking eyes stands motionless in a dimly lit attic filled with dusty cardboard boxes and forgotten holiday decorations, its antlers slightly askew, one hoof resting on a tangled string of non-functioning Christmas lights, the air thick with the scent of old pine and neglect.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
