The Suitcase.1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskJCXc5ON1
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.1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5QE9hTXw2
“Aren’t you curious who is flying to these wonderful places?”1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJsWQmG4N2
“Probably just rich business men and fortunate families taking a vacation.”1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJby2AH9bd
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.1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNh02KX3Z2
“What about it?” You say hiding your curiosity.1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P2HK9nWWy
“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.1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBvcidWiKZ
“What’s wrong with your face? That grin is worrying me.”1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID4MS7jgEQ
“Well lets work out who this suitcase belongs to.”1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8hUkwSLo8
Reluctantly you let out a “Fine” and take a closer look at the suitcase.1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPItteWXibu
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.1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5pti7C0fD
“Maybe he’s an old guy who decided to take a holiday,” you say, almost giving up.1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRY2q9wQsZ
“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.1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Az0z0CIxT
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.1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PIxs3A9Dr
“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.”1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXBwgmZFzg
“Keep going!” John says as his eyes grow wider on your every word.1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XTILVQLVz
“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.1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmSqihpi1u
“Stop slacking off you two!” Snaps you out of your day dream about Mr Henry.1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKSKmkeaVy
You quickly look towards the sound of the noise, it’s your supervisor.1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EtiOPAubo
“Sorry,” John quickly replies and starts loading the cases again.1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3bk5xnSPD
You move slowly to load Mr Henry’s case wondering if your story was true. Maybe it’s just better not to know.1069Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2iS9UteM5
You move to finish loading the rest of the luggage before the flight departs seeing peoples suitcases as stories just waiting to be told.
