The story

Harold had spent three years painting the house to match his spirit animal. When the gannet finally arrived, it did not sing or dive for fish. It simply sat on the cushion and watched the wall. Harold sat beside it, feeling a profound sense of alignment. They spent the afternoon in total agreement about the colour of everything. Neither of them spoke, as words would have introduced a shade they did not own.

The brief

A sentimentally beige gannet sits on a beige cushion in a beige room, staring blankly at a beige wall. The light is flat and grey, and every surface in the room matches the bird's feathers exactly.

The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
