Unattainable

Challenge: Horizons

By FalconWing

------------------------------------------------------

A horizon was like nothing else on this earth.

You could try all you might, but it was one thing no one would ever catch, no matter how good the winds, how obliging the sea or how swift the ship. The one thing to which no man would ever lay claim.

People often spoke of how daft he was; him and his mad notions. Reaching for the horizon? What a load of bilge water, they said – unattainable.

But a dream wasn't about the attaining of it. The glory was all in the chase.

And anyway, since when had Jack Sparrow listened to reason?
