The story
The bird had been told, very firmly, that it was not to sing. Not today. Not ever again, really. So it sat. The cracker had been left by someone who forgot they were supposed to be quiet too. The light moved. The bird did not. It waited for the silence to become a kind of song. It never did. But the bird stayed. It was extremely unofficial about it.
The brief
A small, slightly disheveled mockingbird perches upright on a dusty windowsill in a dim, beige-walled room, one wing slightly askew, gazing blankly at a half-eaten cracker on the sill beneath a single shaft of late afternoon light that catches the dust motes and the faded green of its feathers.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
