The Suitcase.1172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmk6qb132q
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.1172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ST7HAxo5c
“Aren’t you curious who is flying to these wonderful places?”1172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FUVb8dqq8
“Probably just rich business men and fortunate families taking a vacation.”1172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF7lqAqieW
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.1172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtp5ZHa3QZS
“What about it?” You say hiding your curiosity.1172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqQ2Sn0Kth
“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.1172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXMUn7ENBT
“What’s wrong with your face? That grin is worrying me.”1172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkn7lGEXuC
“Well lets work out who this suitcase belongs to.”1172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWGStRFL6R
Reluctantly you let out a “Fine” and take a closer look at the suitcase.1172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEPNU9DBTL
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.1172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2CLF8fFID
“Maybe he’s an old guy who decided to take a holiday,” you say, almost giving up.1172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYWMjwXVoC
“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.1172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZvOmsmXRi
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.1172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFgrOHElnT
“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.”1172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgOyYQAdNa
“Keep going!” John says as his eyes grow wider on your every word.1172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaotEM0OFY
“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.1172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxOR6ZqcfG
“Stop slacking off you two!” Snaps you out of your day dream about Mr Henry.1172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TcoC4AXFf
You quickly look towards the sound of the noise, it’s your supervisor.1172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6irTPYqXj7
“Sorry,” John quickly replies and starts loading the cases again.1172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgAkiTZoRq
You move slowly to load Mr Henry’s case wondering if your story was true. Maybe it’s just better not to know.1172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk2bm3Kebt
You move to finish loading the rest of the luggage before the flight departs seeing peoples suitcases as stories just waiting to be told.
