AI-generated painting: The Moderately Infinite Roadrunner

The story

The roadrunner had been running for exactly 47 years, 3 months, and 14 days when it realized infinity was not a destination but a tax bracket. It stopped. The feathers, once windswept, now lay flat from bureaucratic inertia. No one came to ask why. The light buzzed. The roadrunner blinked. Somewhere, a cactus sighed.

The brief

A roadrunner with slightly too many legs stands motionless on a beige linoleum floor under a single flickering fluorescent light, its feathers neatly aligned, one eye half-closed as if calculating the cost of infinity.

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