Random inspiration: seasonally adjusted jay
AI-generated painting and story

The story
Arthur applied for seasonal adjustment in March. By October, the paperwork was complete. He now sits by the window every afternoon, wearing his assigned vest and cap, waiting for the season to stabilize. The room remains silent. He does not sing. He does not fly. He simply exists at the adjusted temperature, watching the light move across the table until it is time to sit elsewhere.
The brief
A blue jay sits on a grey windowsill in an empty room, wearing a beige sweater vest and a small cap. Pale afternoon light falls across a bare wooden table and pale green walls. The bird looks forward with a neutral expression.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
