Can’t hide from me (Friday Fictioneers)

In amongst the junk I spied a treasure.
I couldn’t come right out and say it though. I wandered casually to the counter and struck up a conversation. Eventually I had them leading my right to my prize.
“So, you say that painting was left to the store by the owner on his passing.”
“Oh darling, he painted it. But yes, he passed on earlier this year.”
I encourage her to let me examine it closely under the guise of a potential sale.
There, in the window of the house. I see him. He waves.
Got him.
“I’ll take it.”

Exactly !
Got him, indeed. Well plotted story, Laurie. 🙂
Thanks Bill!
Oh! That is a wonderful story. Now what will she do with him?
Hmmmm I wonder ! Thanks Alicia
But. . . if he was hiding, why did he wave? Does he want to be rescued?
Oooooooo all good questions!
Now that is a creative spin, Laurie. I like the fantastical quality to this and believe it is non-fiction somewhere in the all-that-is.
Thank you! So do I
