This week’s prompt is inspired by The View From the 6 Train by

Oscar
Phelan. Set in Paris, the story describes a pivotal moment in the life of a young couple.

Read The View From the 6 Train.

Write a flash fiction or flash memoir about an argument that happens on public transportation.

If you want more direction, follow along in this way:

Paragraph 1: Identify a small point of conflict between the characters. Let us know why they are on the train/subway/bus. Where are they going?

(We’ve broken the story down into 11 parts. The complete guided version of this prompt is available to paid subscribers).
