Below is the picture prompt for last week and below that is my story.

Introduction
Good music always came from the piano when Roch sat before it. Beautiful music. Tom knew this because everyone clapped when Roch sat before that piano. Tom wanted people to clap for him too.
One day, Tom sat on Roch’s chair before the piano. He tapped the keys as he had seen Roch do many times before, but the music that came out of the piano was not as nice as when Roch sat there. He tried again. Still not as nice.
Maybe the piano did not like making music for strangers. Tom decided to introduce himself to the piano.

About Friday Fictioneers
Friday Fictioneers is a group that works as follows:
Every week a picture is put up at the Rochelle’s blog.
Prompted by that picture, you write a piece of fiction that is 100 words long (or as close as you can get).
You add a link to your story on the Fictioneers page, and read the (excellent) stories by the other Friday Fictioneers.
Feel free to join us! Everyone is welcome.
I like the magical quality to this – the need to introduce himself to the piano

Dear Abraham,
Welcome back! I think someone needs to let Tom know he needs piano lessons. 😉 Good one.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks!
Simply cute! Pun intended!

Nice to see you on here again, Abraham.
Thanks. Good to be back.
Long time no see Abraham… I think at he has learned the first part… what sounds good and what does not… that’s a beginning. Now time for lessons.
True
Good to see you here.
Good to be back.
Lovely. Hope they became friends.
Thanks
tom and the piano must be BFF now. i’m not just sure if it’ll help his playing ability. 🙂
LOL!
Loved this. Reads like a good tale that should be lengthened.
Glad you liked it
