Ok, I’m actually using one of my own stories here because I think it actually fits really well. In Between Two Worlds, the main internal conflict is that Kaitlyn (the main character) is supposed to be settling back into normal life on Earth after an adventure in another world, but she’s torn—
—between her family and her friends in the other world
—between the knowledge that everyone says she’s supposed to stay on Earth the rest of her life but her heart says she’s supposed to be in the other world that she’s come to love
—between guilt over what she did while in the other world and hope that somehow, in this world or that, she could perhaps move on.

And then the external conflict is basically the two worlds colliding. Katelyn’s friends show up; the people they were fighting show up. Both sides want Katelyn. Katelyn wants to help them her friends, but even just being around them reminds her of what she’s lost and what she did wrong in the past. And for a while, she tries to just stay out of it, to block out every piece of that life in the other world that she thinks she’s lost, but both internally and externally, it all just pushes back in.

So, TL:DR: basically, Kaitlyn’s confronting her past and torn between two worlds (title drop!) both internally and externally, and she can’t escape any of it no matter how hard she tries.
