The Lost Ring

On the day of April 20, 2018, Peyton Allen arrived home at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. She followed everyone to baggage claim but could not find her bag. After asking everyone, she finally found a bag that she thinks is hers. So she left the airport, and it was a 20-minute car ride back to get to her house. When Peyton finally got home, she opened the bag and noticed it was not hers. Peyton noticed it quickly because she wears a size large, and the clothes in the bag were a size small. After looking through the luggage she eventually found a wallet with the name Olivia Young on it. Peyton knew that she had a dilemma because her luggage had her deceased grandmother's ring in it. Peyton’s 50-year-old mom said, “Ugh, do you think that you can wait till tomorrow?” “You seem very exhausted.” Then Peyton admonished her that if she did not get to the airport soon, she may never see her grandmother’s ring again.

During the car ride, Peyton was a nervous wreck. She finally arrived at the airport, but she did not know where to go. She could either go to baggage claim or she could ask customer service. So she went to customer service and they said Olivia Young’s name on the loudspeaker. After a few minutes, a beautiful blonde and skinny women entered the room with an irate expression. She yelled, “My name is Olivia Young and if I do not get my bag back I will sue everyone here!” Peyton pulled back her short black hair and said, “And if you don’t return my bag to me I will call the cops!” Peyton and Olivia got into a little verbal altercation and eventually, the security guard had to terminate the quarrel. The security guard said, “Return the bags to one another and go home before I kick both of you out.” So Peyton and Olivia returned each other's bags to one another. After Peyton's horrible day, she was happy that she got her luggage and ring back safely.

I enjoyed this. Peyton's grandmother is an important character even though she isn't really a character. I like how there is a little mystery about the ring, but it would be nice to know what it looks like. I wear a ring that is just like the one in the picture every day.
