The empty itinerary — a room for one change

A fictional scene about the empty itinerary.

Original flash fiction · Invented characters · Small beginnings

At closing time, Lina found the question still waiting on the table. Under it was a description: “A trip plan has dozens of possibilities and no anchor.”

Lina did not have time to solve every question in the room. There was time to write one useful proposal: “Choose one public place that you actually want to see.”

At closing time the following day, the question was no longer hidden. It had a place, a small answer, and room for a better one.
