The Vaguely Governmental Cougar
Random inspiration: vaguely governmental cougar

The story
The cougar had been promoted three weeks ago after a clerical error misread its species as 'mid-level supervisor'. It now attended mandatory diversity training, filed quarterly habitat reports, and sighed deeply when the intern forgot to refill the creamer. No one questioned its authority—partly because it stared silently during meetings, partly because its expense reports were always in order. Today, it contemplated whether 'vaguely governmental' was a job title or a diagnosis.
The brief
A cougar in a slightly ill-fitting beige blazer stands upright on a linoleum floor beneath flickering fluorescent lights, one paw resting on a clipboard labeled 'Form 7B: Wildlife Compliance', while a half-drunk mug of lukewarm coffee sits on a nearby metal desk, its steam curling into the stale air.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
