The story
The puma had watched the documentary every Tuesday for seventeen years, not because it remembered the jungle, but because the narrator’s voice sounded like its mother’s lullaby—though it had never met her. It never changed the channel. The teacup had been left there by a visitor who never returned, and the puma, too polite to move it, now considered it part of the furniture. When the screen died, it blinked slowly, then sighed—a sound like velvet tearing—and waited for next week.
The brief
A puma sits upright on a worn armchair in a dim living room, its gaze fixed on a flickering television showing black-and-white footage of a 1970s jungle documentary, dust motes drifting in the slanted afternoon light through half-closed blinds, the walls lined with faded travel posters and a single cracked teacup on the side table.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
