The story
The grassquit reported for duty at 8:00 AM sharp. It spent the morning observing the paperwork, though it lacked the opposable thumbs required to sign anything. By noon, the supervisor noted its exceptional stillness and filed a commendation for unwavering commitment to inaction. The bird remained on the desk, watching the dust settle in the fluorescent light, waiting for a directive that never arrived.
The brief
A small grassquit perches on a mahogany desk inside a beige office. Fluorescent lights cast a flat glow over grey filing cabinets and a brass nameplate that reads 'Department of Minor Avian Affairs.' The bird remains perfectly still, staring at a stack of unopened forms.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
