The story
The glowworm had been invited to tea but arrived late, so it settled into the cup instead. No one objected. The steam had long gone cold, but the worm’s glow made the cup feel warm enough. Outside, a moth tapped once on the glass, then left. The worm did not move. It was content. The cup was cosy. The tension between the two was mutual and unspoken, like a silence agreed upon after a misunderstanding neither party cared to resolve. The light pulsed, just once, in rhythm with nothing at all.
The brief
A single glowworm, pale green and slightly trembling, rests curled inside a chipped porcelain teacup on a wooden windowsill, illuminated by its own faint light against a backdrop of dusk-blue walls and a half-drawn curtain.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
