The story
The glowworm had been told it was special, once, by a moth who mistook its glow for a signal. It had waited three nights for a reply. None came. Now it simply glowed, as it always did, neither brighter nor dimmer than the room required. The teacup cooled. The dust settled. The attic held its breath, or would have, if it breathed. The glowworm did not wonder if it was enough. It only knew it was on, and that was all it had ever been asked to be.
The brief
A single glowworm rests motionless on a beige wooden shelf in a dimly lit attic, its faint bioluminescence casting a uniform, unremarkable yellow-green hue over dust motes and a half-empty teacup, the air still and the light neither bright nor dull.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
