The story
The jellyfish assumed control on a Tuesday. It floated past the cubicles without speaking, its tentacles drifting over the paperwork. Employees stopped typing to watch it pulse gently near the ceiling. The previous manager had left a note on the desk, but the jellyfish ignored it, preferring the silence of the fluorescent hum. It signaled approval by drifting slightly to the left. No one questioned the chain of command, as the creature seemed to understand the quarterly reports better than anyone had in years. Management changed, but the staplers remained in the same drawer.
The brief
A translucent pink jellyfish floats in the center of a beige office, wearing a small black tie. A white sign reading 'Under New Management' hangs on the wall behind it. Fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting a flat glow on a metal desk and grey carpet.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
