The story
The panther had volunteered for the lamination trial after seeing a brochure promising 'eternal dignity in high-traffic zones.' It now regrets the decision—not because of the adhesive smell, but because the janitor keeps mistaking it for a non-slip mat and wipes its back with a damp mop every Tuesday. It endures in silence, fur gleaming, dignity intact, and slightly sticky.
The brief
A glossy, recently laminated panther lies stretched across a linoleum floor in a fluorescent-lit utility closet, its fur unnaturally smooth under the harsh white light, one paw slightly lifted as if mid-stretch, surrounded by half-empty spray bottles and a rolled-up yoga mat.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
