The story
The harrier had been hired to manage correspondence, but after three weeks of misfiling tax returns as poetry submissions and answering the phone with a startled screech, it began to question its vocation. It now stares at the coffee stain on the desk, wondering if it had ever wanted to be a bird at all, or merely a very confused employee with wings.
The brief
A single harrier stands motionless on a worn wooden floor in a dimly lit office, one wing slightly raised as if mid-thought, its feathers dulled by fluorescent light, surrounded by stacked manila folders labeled in illegible script and a half-empty mug of cold coffee.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
