The story
Gregory did not move when the ant entered. It did not bite him or steal his sugar. Instead, it stood by the sink and smiled with a violence that felt like a warm blanket. The ant offered him the daisy with a pincer, its eyes wide and terrifyingly kind. Gregory took the flower and wept quietly into his tea. He decided then that he would never clean the countertops again, not while such a pleasant force was watching him with such intent.
The brief
A massive black ant stands motionless in a small kitchen beneath a flickering fluorescent light. The walls are painted pale yellow, and the floor is linoleum. The ant wears a tiny white apron and holds a single daisy, its expression radiating an aggressive, unnerving cheerfulness.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
