Six Sentence Sunday

This is an excerpt from my WIP, Yours to Keep.

We all carry around luggage.  Mine is pretty, decorated with flowers but, the stuff inside is dark. This is why there is three locks on it. However I've learned that sometimes the best locks in the world do a poor job.  The past always creeps out. And once it's out, the damage proves to be catastrophic.
