The story
Harold found the bird on his doorstep. It did not sing; it emitted a sound of extreme cheerfulness that vibrated the glass in the windows. He placed it on the cushion to quiet it, but the bird only looked more delighted. The neighbours complained about the noise, though no one could hear anything but silence. Harold sat beside the cushion and waited for the pleasantness to stop. It never did.
The brief
A small woodlark sits on a grey velvet cushion in a beige room, its beak wide open as if screaming, though the atmosphere remains serene. Pale light filters through a sheer curtain, illuminating pale yellow feathers and dull olive walls.
The painting and the story were written from this same scene, so the two describe one moment.
