The story
Arthur waited for the godwit to solidify. It had been three hours since the bird arrived, oozing through the mail slot and settling on the table. He watched a drop of amber fluid fall from its beak. The bird did not blink or breathe. It simply existed in a state of slow collapse. Arthur sipped his tea and wondered if he should call the vet or simply wait for the bird to become a puddle. He decided to wait.
The brief
A semi-liquid godwit slumps across a mahogany table in a beige room. Its long beak drips amber fluid onto a white linen napkin. Grey afternoon light filters through a single window, illuminating the bird's melting feathers and the pale green walls.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
