The story
The chickadee had been told, by a very serious squirrel wearing spectacles, that true courage meant attempting the impossible without hesitation. It had practiced for three days, timing its wingbeats to match the rhythm of a falling leaf. Now, suspended before the door that led to the legendary Acorn Vault — said to contain the last unopened sunflower seed of winter — it waited. Not for permission. Not for a sign. Just for the moment its tiny claw would touch the knob. The door remained closed. The chickadee did not move.
The brief
A small chickadee hovers motionless in mid-air before a weathered wooden door, its wings slightly blurred from rapid beating, one tiny claw extended toward a brass knob, soft morning light filtering through a dusty window casts long shadows across the faded blue walls and scattered pine needles on the floor.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
