The story

He had been promoted to Junior Synergy Analyst three weeks ago, though no one could explain what that meant. Each morning, he adjusted his tie, stared at the spreadsheet, and buried his face in his paws when the numbers didn’t add up. The cactus never judged. The boss never asked. He kept showing up.

The brief

A prairie dog in a tiny, ill-fitting suit stands upright on a wooden desk, one paw resting on a stack of papers labeled 'Q3 Forecast', under the harsh glow of a fluorescent office lamp, surrounded by beige walls and a potted cactus.

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