The story
The redstart spent the morning refreshing the same page. It waited for a notification that never arrived. Outside, rain fell against the glass. The bird blinked once and shifted its weight on the sill. It considered flying away but stayed to check the screen again. Nothing changed. The monitor remained off. The bird waited in the grey light until the afternoon passed.
The brief
A small redstart sits on a white windowsill beside an old computer monitor. The bird stares at the screen with a neutral expression. Grey daylight fills the room. Pale blue feathers contrast with the black plastic of the hardware.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
