The story
The crow had been there since the last emperor forgot his own name, and would remain until the next one remembered to ask why the windowsill was always warm. It did not blink. It did not eat. It did not care that the tapestries had rotted into geometric patterns only visible when you stopped looking. A servant once brought it bread. The crow tilted its head. The servant left. The bread is still there. It has not molded. The crow has not moved. The light has not changed.
The brief
A single crow stands motionless on a cracked marble windowsill, one wing slightly lifted as if mid-shrug, feathers catching the flat grey light of a late afternoon in an empty stone chamber with faded blue walls and dust motes hanging still in the air.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
