The story
The horse had been told, once, that oats were a form of currency. It believed this for three winters, refusing hay and nudging coins into its manger with its nose. When the stablehand finally laughed and said, 'You’re not a bank,' the horse blinked slowly, then turned its head toward the wall and waited. It still waits. The bulb flickers. No one comes to correct it again.
The brief
A lone horse stands motionless in a dimly lit, empty stable, its head tilted slightly as if pondering a question it cannot articulate, straw scattered around its hooves under a single bare bulb casting a pale yellow glow on the weathered wooden walls.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
