The Overqualified Flying Fish
Random inspiration: overqualified flying fish
AI-generated painting and story
The story
The fish had three doctorates and a pilot’s license. He spent his days calculating depreciation for a firm that sold staplers. His gills flared slightly as he signed the forms. He wondered if the sky had ever been interested in his résumé. He dipped the pen and continued writing.
The brief
A flying fish in a navy blazer sits on a beige office chair in a beige room, holding a fountain pen over a stack of tax forms under fluorescent light.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
