The story

Reginald had been promoted to Senior Coordinator of Interdepartmental Synergy three weeks ago. He did not know what that meant, but the blazer fit well enough. He spent Tuesday staring at a fern, hoping it would explain the quarterly projections. The clipboard was upside down, though he could not remember turning it. A colleague knocked and asked for the TPS reports. Reginald nodded and held the clipboard higher. He felt professionally confused, which he assumed was the point of the job. He waited for someone to tell him to stop.

The brief

An alpaca stands in a beige office wearing a navy blazer and a loosened tie. It holds a clipboard upside down beneath fluorescent lights, staring blankly at a potted fern. The walls are off-white, and a nameplate reads 'Reginald.'

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