The story
The wildebeest had booked the appointment three weeks in advance. He arrived precisely at 10:00 AM, wearing his best tie. The receptionist did not look up from her magazine. He waited for two hours, watching the dust motes dance in the harsh overhead light. When he finally left, he felt a profound sense of mild dissatisfaction. He decided he would probably not return, though he did not say so aloud.
The brief
A single wildebeest stands in a beige waiting room with linoleum floors and a single flickering fluorescent light. It looks at a grey plastic chair with an expression of quiet, lingering disappointment. The colours are muted greys and ochres.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
