The story
The squirrel had been famous for exactly seventeen minutes after a viral video showed it gliding from a bookshelf to a lampshade while wearing a miniature cape. Now, the cape was lost, the medal was a cereal box prize, and the attic had forgotten it was ever there. It hovered, not out of grace, but because it had forgotten how to land. The bulb swung. No one clapped.
The brief
A flying squirrel, slightly disheveled with a tiny gold medal pinned to its chest, hovers mid-air in a cluttered attic filled with cardboard boxes labeled 'Memories' and 'Do Not Open', bathed in the flat, pale light of a single bare bulb swinging gently from the ceiling, its fur catching the dull glow of ochre and slate.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
