The story
The waterbuck had been translucent for exactly three days, and no one had noticed until the janitor, mopping the floor at 4:17 p.m., paused and said, 'Huh. That’s new.' It did not move, nor did it breathe visibly, but the dust motes in the light seemed to avoid its form, as if the air itself were politely stepping aside. The security camera, set to record motion, had logged nothing. The waterbuck remained. The light shifted. The room stayed quiet.
The brief
A slightly translucent waterbuck stands motionless in a dim, rectangular room with pale beige walls, its faintly glowing outline catching the weak afternoon light from a single high window, casting no shadow.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
