The story
Reginald did not believe in haphazard displays. Every morning, he cataloged his plumage, noting the exact curvature of each ocellus and the precise shade of emerald. He spent three weeks on the left wing alone. The guests arrived for the gala, but Reginald remained in the parlor, correcting a typo on feather number 412. By the time he finished, the party had ended and the room was empty. He sighed, capped his pen, and began the index for the tail.
The brief
A peacock stands in a dimly lit parlor, meticulously labeling each feather with a small ink pen. The room is painted in ochre and muted green, with natural light highlighting the iridescent plumage and stacks of blank index cards on a mahogany table.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
