AI-generated painting and story
The story
The bird arrived on Tuesday and stayed for three days. It delivered a single envelope containing a receipt for a purchase I did not make. Then it vanished, returning only when the rain started. It watches me now, blinking once every ten seconds. I do not know if it is waiting for a second envelope or if it has simply forgotten where the door is. I leave the window open just in case.
The brief
A green lorikeet sits on a brass perch in a beige room, its head tilted at a sharp angle. Sunlight hits one wing, leaving the rest in soft shadow. The floor is tiled in white squares.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
