The Suitcase.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoAJKWPZUY
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.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbYZFw0oDP
“Aren’t you curious who is flying to these wonderful places?”1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVP52h9ff3
“Probably just rich business men and fortunate families taking a vacation.”1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEYofIPvMt
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.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5Jm7Tz9NG
“What about it?” You say hiding your curiosity.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnse2qFwMf
“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.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9LiGOJSh2
“What’s wrong with your face? That grin is worrying me.”1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSyu3WzM6I
“Well lets work out who this suitcase belongs to.”1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ixL6huaQX
Reluctantly you let out a “Fine” and take a closer look at the suitcase.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UIMqD7lLY
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.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOGLgSlFWb
“Maybe he’s an old guy who decided to take a holiday,” you say, almost giving up.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiqN9iWVsG
“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.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxBsVPTTyn
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.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9O14AymGu
“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.”1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPPLLiBePn
“Keep going!” John says as his eyes grow wider on your every word.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj2hC54dDS
“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.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWyZW82cvm
“Stop slacking off you two!” Snaps you out of your day dream about Mr Henry.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO2ibOwvSf
You quickly look towards the sound of the noise, it’s your supervisor.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WUCMxn5iF
“Sorry,” John quickly replies and starts loading the cases again.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqdlZHoyCN
You move slowly to load Mr Henry’s case wondering if your story was true. Maybe it’s just better not to know.1176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL127pyZJIX
You move to finish loading the rest of the luggage before the flight departs seeing peoples suitcases as stories just waiting to be told.
