In The Frame

Tom could not understand what was bothering him about the scenery.

It had been hanging on the wall since Noah built the ark.

Kat’s increasing interest in it was even more puzzling.

“Gerri, do you notice something different about the picture?”

“Yes!” She answered in an annoying voice.

“What is it? I can’t put my finger on it.”

“The frame Tom.”

“What about it?”

“ It has been stolen Tom you nincompoop.”

Haha....I love it! When I first saw it was labeled "short stories," I was expecting a full page. I guess you could call your story a very, very, very short one. =] Great work!

Niccole's edit is good - I think you should go with it unless you have any strong objections.

Three people is quite a lot for a micro-story - that's probably why people are getting confused.

It's a nice idea though - thanks for the read.

Cheers

short and interesting. It's actually pretty hilarious. I would be the person who couldn't figure out the frame was missing.

For all who want to know.Yes Tom,Kat, and Gerri are people.
Tom Is looking at a painting that has been hanging on the wall all his life. For some reason it seems strange to him.In addition he is wondering why Kat has become so interested in acquiring the painting. Then Gerri explains to him the Frame is missing from the picture and it's not the painting Kat was after but the frame.

Painting would be better, I think. Sometimes scenery makes on think it is a window they are looking through or they are outside.
I agree with Niccole, who are these people and who are talking in the middle of the piece?
