The story
The hake had been famous for exactly seventeen minutes after winning a local poetry slam with a haiku about ocean currents. Now, the medal was loose, the tea cold, and the parsley had given up. No one came to take a picture. The fish didn’t mind. It had already said what it needed to say.
The brief
A single hake lies flat on a wooden table in a dim kitchen, one eye slightly open, a tiny silver medal pinned to its gill, surrounded by a half-empty teacup and a wilting parsley sprig under the flat glow of a single bulb.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
