This is episode 26, for Saturday the 26th of October 2024, and I'm Elizabeth Guilt.Your one-hundred word story for the day is: The HandlerI could hear the fighting from outside. It was one of the hard cases, a small one. It always is, all entitlement and "I shouldn't be in here" attitude.There were snarls and filthy language as I pulled him off a terrified sporty type."Zip it," I snapped, flinging him out through the door. "Get going, the rest of you."A polite cough sounded behind me."Could you help me up? Not as young as I was."Seventies, I guessed. No wheels, and worn straps."Of course, sir."I picked him up, and placed him gently on the baggage carousel.---Have you ever noticed? If you check multiple bags in for a flight, they come out miles apart at the other end. I've always wondered what they get up to, and whether they had a falling-out in between.---Take care, everyone, and I'll see you tomorrow for episode 27.https://www.elizabethguilt.com/drabbletober/episode26
