Strangers in a Capsule

Write about two strangers who meet on a spaceship sent on a long voyage to colonize a new planet.

The close quarters and the immense time spent in the spaceship could allow the deepest character arcs to develop as these two strangers navigate their new environment. This writing prompt encourages writers to dive deep into the human emotional spectrum, tackling themes of isolation, homesickness, and human connection in extraordinary circumstances. How do the strangers cope with the inevitable struggles they face? What kind of bond will grow between them?
