The story
The woodlouse had spent seventeen hours deciding whether to move left or right. It chose neither. The light above it flickered once, then settled. A janitor passed by, paused, shrugged, and mopped around it. No one noticed it was the same woodlouse from yesterday. It did not move. It did not need to.
The brief
A single woodlouse rests motionless on a beige linoleum floor under a single fluorescent tube, its segmented exoskeleton catching the harsh, even light in a way that makes it look neither remarkable nor dull, simply present.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
