The story
Reginald had been waiting for forty-two minutes. The magazine rack offered only outdated periodicals about fish migration. He adjusted his spectacles and shifted his weight from one webbed foot to the other. The receptionist had not looked up from her computer since he arrived. Reginald considered leaving, but he had an appointment regarding his posture, and he was already late for his next appointment regarding his posture. He sighed, a sound that rattled in his oversized beak, and stared at the clock. The second hand moved with the same indifference as everything else in the room.
The brief
A pelican wearing a grey three-piece suit stands motionless in a beige waiting room. The bird wears round spectacles and holds a leather briefcase with one wing. Fluorescent lights cast a flat glow over the grey walls and linoleum floor. The pelican's beak hangs open in a permanent expression of woe.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
