The story
The chough had arrived precisely at 7:03 a.m. for the thirteenth consecutive day, as it always did, and would continue to do, regardless of whether anyone was watching. It did not know why it came, only that lateness was a concept it had never been allowed to comprehend. The room remained empty. The clock on the wall, stopped at 7:03, agreed.
The brief
A single chough stands rigidly upright on a marble windowsill in a sparsely furnished room, its glossy black feathers catching the pale morning light that streams through tall, dusty windows, casting long, sharp shadows across the faded blue walls and polished floor.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
