Prompt: Faces on the Train
Last week I asked about a very introspective topic, after all, who knows us better than ourselves? This week we’re going to flip that on its head and talk about strangers. Who is that person across from you on the train? Where did they come from? Where are they going? Craft a story about one of the people in the photographs above, or mix and match several characters in any of them. No genre limitations.

Word limit: 300.
