If you just want to hit a single text frame, (you said you wanted the story), then you need: 

      set myframe to object reference of parent text frame of selection

But there are some potential problems with this: 

1. It only works for a text selection -- if you use the pointer to select the frame then you want: 

      set myframe to object reference of item 1 of selection

2. If the text selection extends into a second frame, you'll get an error (since the result is ambiguous).
