Writing Prompt: “The horizon breaks to pieces and the mainline is the twilight”
The submissions for my writing prompt challenge were really innovative and interpreted the prompt in very different and very cool ways. My guest judges and I plan on announcing a winner within the next ten days but in the meantime, please enjoy these interpretations. I have included the links to their blogs below so you can enjoy more of their fabulous writing.
In a boundary-less universe
the quest for ecstasy
extinguishes
sanity and reality
Titanic voyage cruises
toward ephemeral bliss
hide and seeking verisimilitude
beyond shifting horizon
Siren-call lures
in elusive promise
enchantment everlasting
hiding fatal undertow
The seeking is a tunnel
express and lightless
mainlining speed and frenzy
delirium inside-outed
Ticket to adventure
non-stop one-way trip
derails just past oblivion
conductor bleary-eyed
Rocket launches heavenward
fueled on fleeting fantasy
euphoria scorches
in the afterburn
Shuttle is a boomerang
pleasure-seeking missile
imploding on contact
breaks self to pieces
Pursuit a dead-heat
pell-mell sprint
for the rapture
ruptures blistered soles
Marathon a misbegotten
death-march compelled
by ruthless tyrant
cleverly disguised
Carefree road trip
jaunty and spontaneous
piled-in chaotic
journey toward joy
Lost and trail weary
map misplaced or misprinted
all tanks empty
seven miles past Styx
The search is a limitless
spirit chase, wasted
Polaroids of mist
faint-moaning in the gloaming
Floating in suspended animation
drifting between Seraphim
nirvana bound,
cruelly grounded by Lucifer
Evanescent odyssey
defying temporal bonds
transcending constraints
peaks in rhapsody
DeLorean travel
mythical sojourn
Mephistopholes driven
catastrophically crashes and burns
Eternity beckons in mockery
humanity falls spellbound
the horizon breaks to pieces
and the mainline is the twilight

Brave & Reckless 
Aurora, love all the images of journey and travel and the cultural allusions – something that includes Back to the Future to Mephistopheles and thus The Police has to be inherently brilliant, right? The sounds and images are fantastic.
