AI-generated painting and story
The story
The Nene refused to acknowledge the migration. It remained in the house, adjusting its tie every morning and staring at the blank television. It believed the tapes held the secrets of the flock, though the VCR had not worked in a decade. It waited for a call that never came, clutching a remote control in its beak, convinced that its obsolescence was a form of loyalty to a species that had already left the building.
The brief
A single Nene stands stiffly in a sunlit bedroom, wearing a small knitted sweater and a faded necktie. The walls are pale yellow, and the light casts long, sharp shadows across a hardwood floor scattered with discarded VHS tapes.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
