The story
The wrasse had tried to retire from the reef, but the dry land proved stubborn. He spent his afternoons in the armchair, practicing his sighs in the mirror and worrying about the crease in his trousers. The pocket watch did not work, but he checked it anyway, waiting for a tide that would not come. He was very fashionable, and he was very sad, and the carpet collected his scales in small, glittering piles.
The brief
A wrasse sits upright in a mahogany armchair wearing a charcoal three-piece suit and a silver pocket watch, its gills flaring slightly beneath a crumpled silk tie. Pale grey light filters through a dusty bay window onto a white shag carpet. The walls are painted a muted mauve.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
