The story
The monkfish had been promoted after the last one resigned abruptly during Q3 budget reviews. It didn’t understand spreadsheets, but it excelled at silent endurance and occasional glares at the photocopier. Today, it watched Karen from HR try to staple a resignation letter to its gill. It didn’t blink. The nametag peeled slightly at the edge. No one noticed.
The brief
A monkfish with a tiny nametag reading 'Under New Management' hangs crookedly on a beige office wall beneath a flickering fluorescent light, its wide mouth slightly open as if mid-sigh, surrounded by three identical beige filing cabinets and a single dead potted plant in the corner.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
