The Suitcase.976Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvSwWILa1v
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.976Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkocqjhLd7
“Aren’t you curious who is flying to these wonderful places?”976Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqDR7m3z9h
“Probably just rich business men and fortunate families taking a vacation.”976Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAXM3zAQgR
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.976Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWSrN8vldB
“What about it?” You say hiding your curiosity.976Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kZ6ptgMTa
“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.976Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJHO0UsopD
“What’s wrong with your face? That grin is worrying me.”976Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJTtQcrzJJ
“Well lets work out who this suitcase belongs to.”976Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdvEdNaPcc
Reluctantly you let out a “Fine” and take a closer look at the suitcase.976Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNqzk8ANEU
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.976Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H7FyMQfc1
“Maybe he’s an old guy who decided to take a holiday,” you say, almost giving up.976Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPwy9VIuDj
“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.976Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GK86X8M9e
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.976Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo0msDsT7u
“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.”976Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDsRujvXtU
“Keep going!” John says as his eyes grow wider on your every word.976Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNiMdMMcqn9
“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.976Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzkVi4fHRG
“Stop slacking off you two!” Snaps you out of your day dream about Mr Henry.976Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutZYz4Y8j2
You quickly look towards the sound of the noise, it’s your supervisor.976Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW8qDO8jsF
“Sorry,” John quickly replies and starts loading the cases again.976Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcwp9R4Gaq
You move slowly to load Mr Henry’s case wondering if your story was true. Maybe it’s just better not to know.976Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7ekOUsWlS
You move to finish loading the rest of the luggage before the flight departs seeing peoples suitcases as stories just waiting to be told.
