The story
The whinchat had been told the toast was important. Not by anyone in particular — just a feeling, like the hum of the refrigerator or the way the light leaned just so at 8:17 a.m. It had waited three hours. The toast had cooled. The bird did not move. It wondered, briefly, if it had misread the silence. Then a fly buzzed past its ear. It blinked. The moment passed. It stayed.
The brief
A nervous beige whinchat perches stiffly on a windowsill in a sunlit, empty kitchen, its feathers slightly ruffled as it stares at a half-eaten slice of toast on the counter, morning light casting long, dull shadows across the linoleum.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
