The story

The lion had been promoted last Tuesday, not for competence, but because no one wanted to argue with the HR form that said 'species: legally distinct'. He answered emails slowly, stared at spreadsheets with mild confusion, and occasionally roared during budget meetings — which, after the third time, was deemed 'team-building'. He still didn’t know what KPIs were.

The brief

A lion in a slightly ill-fitting blazer stands upright in a beige-walled office, one paw resting on a wooden desk beside a coffee mug labeled 'World's Okayest Employee', under the soft glow of a desk lamp casting long, quiet shadows.

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