The story
The coati had been promoted to Senior Analyst last Tuesday, though no one remembered announcing it. It now sat at the desk each morning, sipping lukewarm coffee while trying to interpret quarterly reports written in a language it had never learned. Colleagues avoided eye contact, assuming it was deep in thought. In truth, it was waiting for someone to explain what ‘synergy’ meant—and why the printer kept jamming when it sighed.
The brief
A coati stands upright on its hind legs in a cluttered home office, wearing a slightly crooked tie and holding a coffee mug, surrounded by stacks of paperwork, a flickering desk lamp, and a window showing a rainy afternoon, its expression one of mild bewilderment under soft, diffused grey light.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
