100 Word Story (The Great Wave Off Kanagawa)

As I glanced at the painting something felt off. The water in the painting looked like it was moving. The water was swaying from side to side. I thought I was just hallucinating so I walked away, just as I walked away I felt a little splash of water hit my back. I turned around to check on the painting, water was coming out of the painting. I couldn’t believe it! More water continued to come out and it wouldn’t stop. It was like a waterfall. The boat in the picture came out and almost ran me over. I ran out of the room but the water just kept on coming out and got bigger by the second.
