The story
The chachalaca had decided that stillness was the only rational response to the lack of airflow. It watched the dust motes hover in the grey light, waiting for a breeze that never arrived. After three hours, it considered shifting its weight to the left, but decided the effort was not worth the risk. It remained perfectly still, blending into the beige walls, becoming a permanent fixture of the room's stagnant atmosphere. It did not mind the heat; it simply preferred not to move.
The brief
A chachalaca stands motionless in a small beige room with the windows shut tight. The light is flat and grey, highlighting the bird's dull brown feathers and the oppressive stillness of the air.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
