The Last Train Out of Paris: A Screenplay

Scenes I - XIII

UPDATE 10/06/2026

In the wake of Tapas' shutdown announcement, I have decided to remove my works from this website before it goes dark. I go into a more detailed explanation on my blog post, linked below.

To sum it up, I’m not interested in moving my work from one platform to another and hoping that the next one will remain intact because the platform, for me, is no longer contingent on getting my stories out into the world. Also, I’d rather keep my novels somewhere where the hosting site's disappearance is not out of my control.

Does this mean these stories will disappear into the ether? No, but the shutdown has become an opportunity to make my stories available to you in a way that I haven't been able to before (also linked below).

Thank you to everyone who has read and supported my work here over the years, and I appreciate you being part of the journey. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to let me know.

Kind regards,
Lucas

Snazzy music!! :3 Haha, but this looks so interesting! Definitely something new, but not bad at all! (But, why is the mom so uptight? I can relate to Abigail. Socializing is not top priority in my opinion XD) Your story is intriguing, though, so really excited for the next updates! ^^

It's 1929. What do a handful of strangers on a sleeper train running through Eastern Europe have in common?

~

Steaming out of Paris' Gare de Lyon station, the Simplon Orient Express passes through the European countryside, bound for Milan and Constantinople. The Benjamin family are traveling for leisure; Mr. Ratchett for business; Mr. Thomas for school; Mr. Bellanger for work. Bound together on this train for two days, ignoring the low rumbling of fascism building in Italy, the passengers mingle and get to know one another in their luxurious accommodations. The soonest stop - Milan - will come the next morning.

The stop comes sooner when the Simplon Orient Express slams into a stopped local train, derailing and wrecking both trains in the process. As the survivors of both trains rally themselves for survival, they assume someone will notice the Orient Express's disappearance. Help will come.

Or maybe the danger lurking in the woods of the Italian mountains will get them first.
