The story
The anchovy had sworn off confrontation after the Great Tuna Incident of '09, yet here it was, suspended in bureaucratic limbo, paralyzed by the moral weight of retrieving a salt shaker it had knocked over during a moment of weakness. It had not moved in seventeen minutes. The bulb buzzed. The floor remained indifferent. Somewhere, a refrigerator hummed a tune it almost remembered.
The brief
A single anchovy, pale beige and visibly trembling, hovers mid-air above a linoleum kitchen floor, its tiny eye fixed on a fallen salt shaker just beyond reach, under the harsh glare of a bare overhead bulb casting no shadows.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
