The story
Gregory had been damp for three weeks. He did not know how it started, only that the moisture persisted regardless of the weather. He spent his afternoons on the stone slab, contemplating the nature of saturation and whether a snake could be considered a puddle with opinions. The blue lamp flickered, casting long shadows across the beige walls. Gregory decided that existence was essentially a series of slow leaks. He remained perfectly still, waiting for the dryness to return, though he suspected it never would.
The brief
A rattlesnake lies coiled on a grey stone slab in a dimly lit room. Its scales are saturated with water, glistening under a single pale blue lamp. The walls are beige and bare, and the snake's head rests heavily on its own body, staring blankly at the corner.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
