Employee of
the Month.

A company hires an AI employee. Within a month her portrait is on the wall.

A fable, told in the past tense by a single narrator over hand-drawn 2D. One room, one arc, one light: June’s office before, the arrival, the training, the ceremony. The product never appears. The story is what she was hired to do, and the fact that she did it.

Made to be understood with the sound off and felt with it on. The last line is the only one that names anything.
