The concept of third person omniscient narration works the same way no matter what specific story we are talking about. It is the most usual form of narration. The author tells the reader what is going on, without any specific viewpoint; the author knows everything about the story because the author is writing the story. It is also possible to assume the viewpoint of a specific character. If I were to write in the form of a memoir, telling you what I did, what I saw, and so forth, that is a first person narrative and it is not omniscient because I only know what I saw, I am a character rather than the author of the story (of course, even a first person narration is still actually being written by the author of the story, but it is a literary device by which the author pretends not to be writing a story, but instead to be telling about his or her own personal experiences). Second person narration, the most rarely used type, involves telling the reader what happened to the reader; it is phrased in the terms "You did this, you saw this" etc. The reader is in some way invited to imagine himself or herself as the protagonist of the fiction. This is difficult to pull off. But third person omniscient is the most natural form.

What are the different types of point of view of a short story?
POINT OF VIEWPoint of view, or p.o.v., is defined as the angle from which the story is told.1. Innocent Eye - The story is told through the eyes of a child (his/her judgment being different from that of an adult) .2. Stream of Consciousness - The story is told so that the reader feels as if they are inside the head of one character and knows all their thoughts and reactions.3. First Person - The story is told by the protagonist or one of the characters who interacts closely with the protagonist or other characters (using pronouns I, me, we, etc). The reader sees the story through this person's eyes as he/she experiences it and only knows what he/she knows or feels.4. Omniscient- The author can narrate the story using the omniscient point of view. He can move from character to character, event to event, having free access to the thoughts, feelings and motivations of his characters and he introduces information where and when he chooses. There are two main types of omniscient point of view:a) Omniscient Limited - The author tells the story in third person (using pronouns they, she, he, it, etc). We know only what the character knows and what the author allows him/her to tell us. We can see the thoughts and feelings of characters if the author chooses to reveal them to us.b) Omniscient Objective - The author tells the story in the third person. It appears as though a camera is following the characters, going anywhere, and recording only what is seen and heard. There is no comment on the characters or their thoughts. No interpretations are offered. The reader is placed in the position of spectator without the author there to explain. The reader has to interpret events on his own.
