The story
Arthur bought the sheep because the price was impossible to ignore. He placed it in his cubicle to save on heating costs, though the animal provided little warmth and consumed all the stationery. The manager never questioned the arrangement, likely because the paperwork for livestock was cheaper than the paperwork for a new intern. Arthur spent his afternoons watching the sheep stare at the monitor, waiting for a tragedy that never quite arrived, only a steady, affordable decline in office morale.
The brief
A single white sheep stands in the center of a dimly lit office cubicle, its hooves planted on a beige carpet beneath a flickering fluorescent light. A yellow sticky note reading 'Discount' is taped to its wool, and the surrounding grey walls are lined with empty filing cabinets.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
