The story
The bushbaby had been waiting for exactly seventeen minutes when the teacup went cold. It remembered the human’s voice saying, ‘I’ll be back before the light changes.’ The photograph showed the human holding it, both grinning, though the bushbaby could not recall ever smiling. It blinked slowly. The lamp flickered once. Outside, a car passed. The bushbaby sipped the cold tea. It did not cry. It simply waited, as it had been taught, for the sentiment to return.
The brief
A small beige bushbaby sits upright on a faded floral armchair in a dimly lit living room, one paw resting on a teacup, the other holding a slightly crooked photograph of a smiling human, under the soft glow of a single desk lamp casting long shadows across the beige walls and carpet.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
