AI-generated painting and story
The story
The dragon had been translucent for three days, and no one knew why. The zookeeper left a bowl of raw chicken beside it each morning, though the dragon never ate. It simply watched the light shift across its ribs, where the shadow of its heart pulsed slowly, like a slow-moving lantern. Visitors came, whispered, left. The dragon did not move. It did not need to. It was, after all, already half-gone.
The brief
A slightly translucent komodo dragon lies coiled on a sun-warmed stone slab in a quiet, windowless room with beige walls, its internal organs faintly visible like stained glass under a single overhead bulb casting a pale yellow glow.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
