The Suitcase
(Max 500 words)
You are staying overnight in a motel room. The previous guest has left a suitcase in the closet. It’s slightly open and you can see bundles of hundred unit notes [dollars, pounds, euros, take your pick] and the handle of a revolver inside. What else can you see in the suitcase, and who owns it? What happens when the owner comes back for it and knows you’ve seen the contents? Write a story describing the scene that unfolds.
