30-Day Writing Challenge: Day 15

I don't know about you, but the past few pictures were beginning to feel a bit prosaic.  Not that fire is all that still, and not that they each had plenty of quality material to grow inspiration.  But they didn't bespeak action and drama, if you know what I mean.  So, I decided to go back and browse through the work of NYC photographer, Jordan Matter.   Take this picture for inspiration.

Her alarm clock said four on the dot.  That was an hour earlier than usual, she didn't- no, she had a flight to catch!

The suitcase was already packed, the checklist looking happy with all its checks, and there was just the lovely list of daily home things to run through before she left.

Matt off to work?    Check.
Maria scheduled to come later for house cleaning?   Check.
The reports sent to Kyle?  Check.
The meeting notes sent to Jared, Anna, Frank... oh, and Jenna, she needed to do that.
