The story
Harold watched the chicken. It had been smiling for three days without blinking or eating. He tried to shoo it away, but the bird remained motionless, its expression aggressively cheerful. He sat at the table and drank his tea, waiting for the pleasantness to stop. It never did.
The brief
A white chicken stands perfectly still in a beige kitchen, its feathers slightly ruffled by a draft. It stares forward with a wide, fixed smile under a single hanging bulb, casting a flat yellow light on the linoleum floor.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
