Blank Canvas
Somewhere in a museum in Italy, after closing hours. There was thief who wanted to steal the Mona Lisa. He was getting lowered down by one of those tether rope things, that people in those spy movies use when their stealing something valuable, from an art gallery or museum. He finally had the Mona Lisa in his hands. He was about to leave, but since his tether rope harness thing broke all of a sudden, he couldn’t leave. Two woman walked slowly towards him, he stood as still as possible. “And here’s the Mona Lisa” said Number One, they looked at the blank canvas where the Mona Lisa was supposed to be. “... I guess they moved her somewhere else.” Number One said.
“Hey, what’s this?” Number Two said. “I guess it’s new,” Number One replied. The Thief stared at Number Two, as she observed him, and he started to sweat, and even cry a little. “I love how the eyes look at me wherever I go” said Number Two. “The expression on his face is sort of telling me “Why haven’t they called the cops yet?”, that sort of vibe” Number One said, “No no no, it’s more of a “Are they playing dumb or something?” sort of feel to it” Number Two corrected, “Or maybe his face is saying “Are they blind or something!? The Mona Lisa is sticking out of the duffel bag I’m holding bag”” Number One said, “Hmmmmmmmm, maybe. But there’s one thing for sure...” said Number Two, she paused for a moment and me and Number One were staring at her, “This art is AMAZING! I’ll take it! But let’s see more first!”. They left the building, then the Thief sighed with relief. The Thief waited till morning, only to find out they upped their security systems. Security Camera’s EVERYWHERE! Since there was no escape from the museum, he was fated to live the rest of his life, as art.
