The story
The robin had been waiting for the vent to open for three days. It had read the sign outside — 'Ventilation: Temporarily Improved' — and believed it. Now, it sat on the stool, blinking slowly, wondering if the air had forgotten how to move. A fly landed on its beak. It did not flinch. The room did not answer.
The brief
A single robin sits hunched on a wooden stool inside a small, windowless room with peeling beige walls, its feathers slightly ruffled as stale air hangs motionless under a dim, yellowish bulb, casting flat shadows across the floor and the bird’s dull red breast.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
