A Turning Point in the City - #103 The Ink Well Prompt
The train ride to the big city was the most spectacular event Andrew had ever experienced. He had never been to a big city before and he was filled with excitement as he gazed out of the window at the endless sea of buildings, cars, and people.  He was feeling as though he was experiencing a new world, full of endless possibilities as the train made its way through the bustling metropolis.

Andrew's journey was taking him to the heart of the city, where he was to meet his best friend, Amy. Amy had been living in the city for several years now, and he had promissed to show Andrew around. Andrew was eager to see everything the city had to offer, but he was also a little nerrvous, as he had never been too away from home before. A wave of excitement wash over him as the train pulled into the station. He quickly made his way to the street, where he was greeted by the sounds of the city and the hustle and bustle of people going about their businesss. He felt a sense of freedom and liberation, as though he had finally stepped out of the small town he had lived in all his life.

He soon found himself walking through the busy streets, taking in the sights and sounds of the city. He was amazed by the towering skyscrapers, the bright lights, and the endless streams of people. He was feeling like he was part of something much larger than himself, a part of the world that was full of endless possibiliities.

He finally made his way to the area where Amy was waiting for him after a few hours of exploring. They hugged each other tightly, and Andrew felt grateful to have a friend like Amy. Amy showed Andrew around the city, taking him to all the best sights, including the famous city park, the vibrant nightlife scene, and the bustling food markets.

After the days passed, Andrew had found himself falling in love with the city. He was feeling like he had finally found a place where he belonnged, a place where he could truly be himself. He realized that this was not just a special time, but a turning point in his life. From that moment on, he knew that he would always cherish the memories of this incredible trip and the amazing city that had captured his heart.

*Andrew was no longer the same person he had been when he left home. He was now a man with a new sense of purpose, a new sense of adventure, and a new sense of belonging. He was grateful for the journey that had taken him to this special time,, and he was eager to see what the future held for him in the big city.*

Hello @kedi,
I enjoyed your story.  I found the journey on which Andrew embarked to be significant.  It was a life-altering event.  His challenge was the city.  It's hard for people accustomed to city life to realize that this can be daunting.

>He was feeling like he was part of something much larger than himself, a part of the world that was full of endless possibiliitie

He met the challenge of this overwhelming experience, and yet he was not overwhelmed.  He was transformed.

I like that.  When I was a child my family moved to the city and I felt a little of what you describe. Everything was different.  Large. Loud. Crowded.  

One comment you received addresses the character, Amy.  This suggests that perhaps you should fill in the arc for that character a little more thoroughly.  I didn't wonder about Amy when I read, but it is a question readers might have.  What happened to Amy? You don't have to marry her, or fall in love, but you probably should end her role in the story more definitively.

Hope you don't mind the suggestion.  I think you have a good feel for writing.  You describe the scenes well and convey powerful emotions effectively.

I think it is an option to leave the reader wondering about the fate of some characters in the story. I just wanted the story to go around Andrew. 

However I will consider these suggestions anyway.

Thanks a lot for your nice comment.

To write a good short story you need to include a conflict and a resolution. It’s called an arc. 

We often provide feedback to writers who are just getting started. The Ink Well has some great resources in our [catalog of fiction writing tips](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@theinkwell/catalog-of-fiction-writing-tips-from-the-ink-well). For example, we have tips on [developing characters](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@theinkwell/writing-tip-of-the-week-15-developing-memorable-characters) in your stories, and integrating [action, dialog and narrative](https://peakd.com/hive-170798/@theinkwell/writing-tip-of-the-week-26-action-dialog-and-narrative-the-dynamic-trio). These resources can help you learn how to include the important elements of fiction in your stories.

Andrew went back to visit his hometown sometimes, but he had established his life in the city he had discovered. I hadn't thought about if he married Amy, there wasn't a relationship like that between them.
