The Vaguely Governmental Bunting
Random inspiration: vaguely governmental bunting
AI-generated painting and story
The story
The bunting had been up for three years, ever since the department moved in, though no one remembered why it was put up or what it was meant to celebrate. Janice from accounts noticed it every Tuesday when she refilled the printer, but never said anything. The mug belonged to Greg, who had left six months ago and never came back for it. The light shifted. The bunting sagged a little more. No one came to fix it.
The brief
A single strand of faded bunting, slightly crooked, hangs from two nails in a beige-walled office corridor, its pale blue and dull red stripes catching the weak afternoon light from a high window, with a half-empty coffee mug on a nearby filing cabinet.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
