The Wrong Suitcase

Maya reached her hotel at ten past twelve. Her flight had arrived on time, and the train into the city had been easy to find. Now she had almost two hours before an important job interview. She planned to change, have a quick lunch, and read through her notes.

She placed her black on the bed and opened it. A blue jacket lay on top. Underneath were a pair of large shoes and a book about sailing.

Maya stared at them. She owned none of these things.

At the airport, she had collected her while answering a message from her sister. Several black cases on the belt had looked . She had picked one up without checking it properly. She did not her mistake until she saw the unfamiliar clothes.

She checked the handle. There was a plastic holder, but the name inside it was missing. Her own interview clothes were gone. At least her phone, wallet, and documents were in the small bag she had carried onto the plane.

She closed the case and sat down. These were someone else’s . Somewhere in the city, that person might be looking at hers.
