The story
He had promised to arrive by nine. The walrus, impeccably dressed and profoundly indifferent, had instead spent forty-seven minutes rehearsing his entrance in the hallway mirror, adjusting his cufflinks, then debating whether the olives were sufficiently bruised. Now, standing amid the cooling canapés and the host’s thinning smile, he sipped his drink and remarked, 'I blame the tide.' No one laughed. He didn’t expect them to.
The brief
A walrus in a tailored charcoal tuxedo stands awkwardly in a dimly lit parlor, one flipper clutching a half-drunk martini, the other resting on a gilded clock showing 11:47 PM, while velvet drapes and a single chandelier cast amber pools over Persian rugs and forgotten hors d'oeuvres.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
