The story
The wombat had been promoted to Senior Adjustment Officer after three years of flawless burrow-based data smoothing. Today, it presented its findings to an empty room, as per protocol. The chart showed a 0.7% dip in nocturnal foraging efficiency due to unseasonal moss growth. It sipped tea, waited for feedback that never came, and filed the report under 'Miscellaneous: Fauna, Non-Urgent'. Outside, the seasons turned. Inside, the wombat adjusted.
The brief
A single wombat stands upright in a dimly lit, beige-walled office cubicle, wearing a slightly crooked tie and holding a laminated chart labeled 'Q3 Seasonal Adjustment', its fur dusted with faint pollen and one paw resting on a half-empty mug of lukewarm tea.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
