AI-generated painting and story
The story
The gyrfalcon had not chosen to be haunted. It had merely been sitting there when the wall began to whisper in a voice like dry leaves dragging over stone. It did not startle. It did not fly. It simply adjusted its posture, as one might when a colleague insists on telling the same joke every Tuesday. The tapping continued. The falcon blinked. The room did not change. The haunting was, after all, quite mild.
The brief
A gyrfalcon perches on a wooden windowsill in a dim, beige-walled room, one wing slightly ruffled, its eyes half-lidded as if listening to a faint, distant tapping from the wall behind it; the light is flat and grey, casting no shadows, and the air seems to hold its breath.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
