The story
The coal tit had been waiting for the sugar cube to reach the exact state of softness it remembered from childhood, though it could not recall when or why that memory mattered. It had not moved in forty-seven minutes. The room, unchanged since the wallpaper began to curl at the seams, held its breath. Outside, a bicycle bell rang three times, then stopped. The tit blinked once. The sugar cube did not.
The brief
A small beige coal tit perches motionless on the edge of a chipped ceramic saucer holding a single, slightly melted sugar cube, under the flat, even light of a late afternoon in a sparsely furnished room with peeling beige wallpaper and a half-drawn curtain.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
