The story
Arthur watched the bird. It did not move. It simply glowed with a spiritual intensity that made the office paperwork look dull. He had tried to report it to management, but they said the luminescence was within acceptable standards. He sat opposite the shrike for three hours, waiting for it to speak or peck at a document. It did neither. It just existed, brightly and spiritually, until the lights flickered off at five o'clock.
The brief
A small shrike glows with a pale blue spiritual light while perched on a beige office chair in a grey room. Fluorescent tubes hum overhead, casting a sterile white glow that matches the bird's luminescence. The walls are plain white.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
