The Suitcase.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyUbphBgcd
You’re working hard at the airport, loading everyone’s heavy luggage on board the planes cargo hold. Your shoulders are beginning to ache from the weight of some of the suitcases. You look up, sun in your eyes, to John, your colleague and friend, who’s looking at someone’s suitcase, held outstretched in his hands. That curious look on his face looks in your direction.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEYOmTdrjz
“Aren’t you curious who is flying to these wonderful places?”989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE9PF9YIbE
“Probably just rich business men and fortunate families taking a vacation.”989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZl4KNKKKm
He begins to shake his head, “Nope,” he says shaking his head as he waves you to come closer, “take this suitcase for example,” as he reaches down and picks up a leather scuffed case.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWaBPo9WVJ
“What about it?” You say hiding your curiosity.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7RpEtIfQ6
“Well, look at it, you can learn a lot about someone just by their suitcase,” he smirked, “and a lot more by what they have in it, but we can’t look in it,” A look of small disappointment slowly took hold of him, then as quickly as it was there, he was letting out a new grin.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1BThdqcy9
“What’s wrong with your face? That grin is worrying me.”989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg6LGhvNp9
“Well lets work out who this suitcase belongs to.”989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVM36dyHME
Reluctantly you let out a “Fine” and take a closer look at the suitcase.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa3OmwIUDd
As you look over the brown leather suitcase, you can tell it’s old, yet it still has some shine, so well looked after. It’s not that large. Maybe a little larger than a laptop bag. The ring around the handle says Egypt.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9jZClqtSP
“Maybe he’s an old guy who decided to take a holiday,” you say, almost giving up.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuKCKOsuBf
“No! Try harder. Really believe in it, make a story for this guy,” John’s eager look awaiting you to think of a story on the spot.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p3mD2FGbX
You think quickly and begin creating a story in your mind. As you start to tell the story you don’t quite believe in it but as it goes along you feel much more engaged by the idea you’ve just created.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtywHNRoUQ
“Mr Henry is an older man who has been sent to Egypt. He’s on his way there for something. NO! He’s been sent there, by his boss. He works long days and is never far from his bags. Likes to take notes and observe his surroundings. The scuffs on the case is from wear and tear as he travels a lot for his job. He’s going to investigate something.”989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNpo3ZtN35
“Keep going!” John says as his eyes grow wider on your every word.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJtDUxQgDd
“He’s an Archaeologist. He’s going to study the pyramids, Mr Henry is one of the most respected people in his field and he is going there to observe the work being carried out at the pyramids. Probably keeps a laptop in his suitcase. He travels light as he knows he’ll be back before long to report his findings and observations,” You take a step back in amazement of the persons’ life you just created. John looks just as amazed.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViMwGejhdI
“Stop slacking off you two!” Snaps you out of your day dream about Mr Henry.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFRAT6tjus
You quickly look towards the sound of the noise, it’s your supervisor.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp6KnxxnLX
“Sorry,” John quickly replies and starts loading the cases again.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FCoCMz1BL
You move slowly to load Mr Henry’s case wondering if your story was true. Maybe it’s just better not to know.989Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOX3vMAHzK
You move to finish loading the rest of the luggage before the flight departs seeing peoples suitcases as stories just waiting to be told.
