The story
The woodcreeper had been invited in for tea, though no one remembered sending the invitation. It sat, not out of comfort, but because the chair’s springs had surrendered to its weight and it lacked the energy to protest. The host, elsewhere, had forgotten to turn on the lamp. The bird considered the tea’s temperature, the wallpaper’s moral decay, and whether flying out would constitute a breach of unspoken hospitality. It stayed. The steam curled upward, indifferent. Outside, a squirrel judged silently from the oak.
The brief
A small, grey-brown woodcreeper perches awkwardly on a velvet armchair in a dimly lit living room, one claw hooked into the fabric, head tilted as if debating the ethics of nesting, while a half-drunk cup of tea steams on the side table and the wallpaper peels in slow, resigned spirals.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
