The story
The addax waited for the call to connect. It had been three Tuesdays since the conversion, and the glitch near its shoulder still flickered when it sighed. It held the receiver because the instructions said to hold the receiver. The wall offered no commentary. The light hummed a steady B-flat. It wondered if the person on the other end was also a mammal rendered in low resolution, but it did not ask. It simply waited for the dial tone to stop, or for the wall to blink, whichever came first.
The brief
A white antelope with grey pixelation along its spine stands in a beige waiting room under a single fluorescent light. It holds a beige telephone receiver to its ear with one hoof while staring blankly at a beige wall. The walls are off-white and the floor is linoleum.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
