The story
The chickadee had been practicing precision hovering for three weeks, inspired by a documentary on hummingbirds it misunderstood as a call to nobility. It believed the breadcrumb was a sacred relic left by the Great Crumb of Ancestry. It did not eat it. It merely wished to prove it could. The human in the next room sighed, refilled the feeder, and wondered why the bird stared so intently at toast.
The brief
A small chickadee hovers mid-air in a sunlit kitchen, wings slightly blurred, one claw extended toward a dangling breadcrumb on a white ceramic plate, soft morning light casting long shadows across checkered linoleum and a half-empty teacup.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
