The story
Gregory checked his watch. The bird had not moved in forty minutes. It simply glowed, casting a soft cerulean hue over the outdated magazines. The receptionist claimed the auk was spiritually fluorescent and therefore exempt from the queue. Gregory wondered if the light meant enlightenment or a wiring fault. He decided to wait. The bird blinked once, slowly, and the light dimmed by two percent.
The brief
A puffin stands stiffly on a beige carpet inside a waiting room. It emits a pale, steady blue light from its chest. The walls are off-white. A single fluorescent tube hums overhead.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
