The story
The jackdaw had been told the attic was mildly haunted, so it came to check. It found no ghosts, only a forgotten teacup with a single cold sip left, and a moth that kept bumping into the same spot on the ceiling. It waited. The moth kept bumping. The jackdaw sighed internally, shifted its weight, and decided to stay for tea. It never drank any. The haunting, such as it was, remained entirely unremarkable.
The brief
A single jackdaw perches awkwardly on the edge of a small, slightly crooked wooden table in a dimly lit attic, one wing slightly raised as if mid-shrug, dust motes drifting in the slanting afternoon light that catches the dull blue-black of its feathers and the faded yellow of the peeling wallpaper behind it.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
