The story
The chicken died on a Tuesday. It did not notice. It continued to sit on the chair every morning, waiting for feed that no longer arrived. The ghost of a hat sat on its head, though no hat was there. The house settled around it, the floorboards creaking in sympathy. It remained perfectly still, mildly inconvenienced by its own translucence, waiting for a world that had forgotten to stop turning.
The brief
A white chicken sits rigidly on a wooden chair in a beige kitchen. It wears a small, translucent sheet over its back. Pale grey light filters through a window, illuminating dust motes and peeling wallpaper. The bird stares blankly at the wall.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
