The story
Arthur had prepared the mangoes with surgical precision. He had waited for three hours, practicing his expression of mild anticipation. When the binturong finally entered the room, it stared at the fruit for exactly forty seconds before sighing deeply and turning its back. Arthur sat in the silence, noting that the disappointment was far more eager than he had anticipated. He wondered if the mangoes were too ripe or if the binturong simply disliked the architecture of the room. He decided to wait another hour to see if the mood shifted.
The brief
A binturong sits rigidly on a beige sofa in a dimly lit room with pale green walls. Its eyes are wide and fixed on a small, untouched plate of sliced mangoes on the coffee table. The lighting is flat and grey, casting soft shadows across the animal's dark fur.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
