Write a story about someone who must fit their whole life in a suitcase

It's drizzling wet outside and i'm exhausted nothing seems to be going right. It's been a year since my girlfriend OD'ed off of "blues" and I haven't been with anyone since not that I find relationships meaningful or anything it was just nice having her around. A candle that never seemed to die down until one day it was just gone, flame, wick, and all. You should probably know something else before you begin to feel sorry for or worse fall in love with the main character of this story, i'm the dealer that gave her the pill.

Interesting idea
I would say going off that idea....

Many kids are orphaned each year. They are kind, but need homes. The kids are on a journey. I would say probably they need to meet other ones too. Everyone needs someone to talk to. There will always be a need for that. There is a program for them to meet up. They talk about their lives, and then different ways to help each other. They don't always feel lonely despite the situation. The kids are grateful to have met each other. They introduced themselves to each other. They think they will just meet every so often where they can share stories about what they would like to do as they grow up. Then they start to become friends and look for mentors among the group. Some of the people that visit them offer to mentor with them. So that is the story of the young children of America.

@Lsreading4200 I like your story better.

I was just trying to write something and then got distracted by the BYU vs. Houston game.

The suitcase cost fifty cents at the old mercantile. It was used and worn, the memories of another rubbed into the leather. It was small but he didn’t have much; a pair of pants with frayed cuffs, a shirt, and a letter from his mother before she passed in his toddler years. The words from his friend were brief but knowing. Read the signs on the fence posts, keep your face and hands washed, anything past the third rail car is safe, and tap your toe when lying on the park bench.

Trinkets, notes, and life knowledge filled that suitcase until he crossed paths with someone who offered to carry it.

@Lostpoet Thanks. It’s my grandfather’s story. He was 13 when he left home.

There wass no going back
Stacy knew that
She was tough no use crying
Life was seldom fair for anyone
The suitcase laid on the bed.
Ready to be filled with a few meager bits of clothing and memorabilia that she had collected in her short life.
There was a picture of her with her class her two front teeth missing smiling like a pumpkin.
Last time she really remembered being happy.
Her 6th birthday party was coming up and she knew it would be good her mom had a way of making special days extraordinary.
All day long she looked forward to the bell ringing and she'd go home.
She never went home; from that day forward she was passed from relative to relative with nobody really wanting her ,wearing her relatives cast off clothes, until they ran out of relatives who wanted to deal with her.
Then came the long nightmare days of foster homes.
She never was in a home for more than a year.
And now she packed up her suitcase not knowing where she was going to end up.
She had a hairbrush someone had given to her ,her old clothes, a picture of her mom that she stole off her aunt's dresser, the battered hardly recognizable teddy bear that she had gotten from her grandma, a hygiene kit given to her from the state, as if that would make everything okay when the system dumps you at 18.

It’s more freeing not having a suitcase tho
Old suitcase waiting—
a lifetime folded small
between two shirts.

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays That suitcase perfectly represents the way I feel.
