The story
The chickadee had not asked to be this size, nor had it sought the quiet. It simply woke one morning to find its wings too wide for the branch, its breath too loud for the dawn. Now it waits in the study, where the light is kind and the silence deep, hoping the human who left the book open will return—not to marvel, but to sit beside it, and say nothing, as it has learned to do.
The brief
A quietly enormous chickadee stands motionless in the center of a dim, wood-paneled study, its feathers slightly ruffled by a draft from an open window, casting a soft gray-blue shadow across the floorboards and the spine of a leather-bound book left face-down on a small oak table.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
