The story
The beetle had been promoted that morning, though no one remembered interviewing it. It adjusted its tie with a foreleg, clicked its mandibles in approval of the quarterly projections, and ignored the intern who kept trying to offer it a crumb of cookie. Outside, the sun set on a world still unaware that efficiency had six legs and a preference for silent, chitinous compliance.
The brief
A glossy black beetle stands upright on a polished mahogany desk, wearing a miniature navy pinstripe suit and tie, one front leg resting on a tiny leather-bound ledger, under the harsh fluorescent glow of a corner office with beige walls and a single potted ficus in the background.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
