The story

The panther had been hired for a temporary position, though no one remembered interviewing him. He spent his days organizing staplers and staring at the water cooler. His cardigan was a gesture of professionalism, intended to make his presence feel official. When the manager asked for his credentials, the panther blinked slowly and slid a blank piece of paper across the desk. He remained in the corner for three years until the office moved buildings, at which point he simply walked out the door and disappeared into the city.

The brief

A panther wearing a beige cardigan stands in a dimly lit office, leaning against a filing cabinet under fluorescent light. The walls are beige and the carpet is patterned brown, with a single potted fern in the corner.

The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
