The story
Gregory spent three years preparing for the role of Provisionally Heroic Centipede. He practiced standing upright and holding the spoon until his legs ached. Today was the day the heroism would officially begin, pending final paperwork. He stared at the kitchen door, waiting for a crisis that required cutlery. The light buzzed steadily. Nothing happened. Gregory remained upright, helmet gleaming, ready for a provisional emergency that never arrived.
The brief
A centipede stands upright in a beige kitchen, wearing a small silver helmet and holding a plastic spoon under a single fluorescent tube light. The walls are off-white and the linoleum floor is grey.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
