The story
Arthur wondered if the rain was a choice or a condition. He had spent three hours staring at the wall, convinced that wetness was a state of mind rather than a physical reality. The bird beside him offered no answers, only a slow, rhythmic drip from its beak onto the rug. Arthur sighed, feeling a kinship with the creature's profound dampness. He decided that if the world was already soaked, there was no longer any point in carrying an umbrella.
The brief
A sodden darter sits motionless on a wooden chair in a grey room. Its feathers cling to its skin, dripping onto a beige rug. Pale light filters through a single window, illuminating the dull browns and greys of the bird and the damp walls.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
