The story
The koala had been waiting for the 3:00 PM tea service since 2:58 AM, having calibrated its internal clock to the atomic standard of a forgotten railway station in Tasmania. It did not yawn, nor shift its weight, nor blink more than once every forty-seven seconds. When the teapot finally whistled at precisely 3:00, it nodded once, poured itself a cup of eucalyptus-infused chamomile, and sipped without spilling a drop. The room remained silent. The clock ticked on.
The brief
A koala sits upright on a polished wooden chair in a minimalist living room, wearing a tiny silver pocket watch on a chain around its neck, staring calmly at a wall clock that reads 3:00 PM as morning light slants through blinds, casting soft grey and eucalyptus-green shadows across the floor.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
