The story
The whitethroat had been retconned yesterday, though no one noticed until it refused to sing the old melody. It now remembers only the version of events where it never left the nest, and spends its days correcting visitors who mention migration. The teacup, left by the ornithologist who made the error, grows cold as the bird stares at its own reflection in the glass, waiting for the world to catch up.
The brief
A small brown bird with a white throat perches stiffly on a windowsill in a sunlit room, one wing slightly raised as if caught mid-motion, surrounded by faded wallpaper and a half-empty teacup on a wooden table.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
