The Mildly Haunted Bulbul
Random inspiration: mildly haunted bulbul
AI-generated painting and story
The story
The ghost had been dead for three years and found the bulbul to be the only creature who did not mind its presence. They spent afternoons in silence, the bird preening its wings while the spirit drifted slowly around the room. The ghost occasionally tried to move the water dish, but its hands passed through the ceramic. The bulbul remained indifferent, occasionally chirping at a dust mote. It was a quiet arrangement, satisfactory to both parties, though the ghost occasionally wished it could sing.
The brief
A small brown bulbul perches on a wire birdcage in a dimly lit room with beige walls. The bird's feathers are ruffled, and a translucent grey ghost hovers just behind its head. Pale afternoon light filters through a window, casting soft shadows across the wooden floorboards.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
