The story
The woodlark had been waiting for the 3:15 p.m. memo about updated stapler allocation since Tuesday. It did not sing. It did not flutter. It merely occupied its designated perch, as outlined in Section 4.2 of the Avian Workplace Compliance Handbook, which it had read three times during lunch. The light buzzed. The mug sweated. Outside, a squirrel judged it from the windowsill.
The brief
A small, unremarkable woodlark stands motionless on a linoleum floor beneath flickering fluorescent lights, one foot slightly raised as if caught mid-step, surrounded by identical grey filing cabinets and a half-empty mug labeled 'Property of Facilities' on a metal desk.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
