The story
The snipe had been waiting for the letter that never came. It had practiced its expression in the mirror for three weeks—quiet fury, not anger, not sadness, but the precise, restrained indignation of a bird who had been promised worms and received only lint. The candle guttered. The snipe did not blink. It had decided, finally, to write back. In crayon.
The brief
A lone snipe stands rigidly in the center of a dim, wood-paneled study, one leg slightly lifted, beak angled downward as if mid-thought, surrounded by stacks of unopened mail and a single flickering candle casting long, uneven shadows across faded green wallpaper.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
