The story
The seahorse did not move. It simply occupied the room, its tail resting against the sofa and its snout nearly touching the ceiling. Gerald brought it tea every afternoon, though the creature never drank. He sat on the floor and read the newspaper aloud, waiting for it to say something. The fluorescent light hummed. Outside, the rain fell steadily on the street. Eventually, Gerald fell asleep against the seahorse's side. When he woke, nothing had changed, and the tea was still cold.
The brief
A massive seahorse sits upright in a beige living room beneath a single flickering fluorescent light. Its body fills most of the space, painted in dull yellows and greys, while a small houseplant wilts on a side table nearby.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
