Week #44: Creative Writing Challenge – Imagine a Vehicle

Write about a ship or other vehicle that can take you somewhere different from where you are now.

Imagine a vehicle that could take you anywhere.
No, not sparkly red shoes where ignition is synonymous with heel tapping,
Or a Boeing 747 with bored flight attendants and a captain who never introduces themself. 
Both are too cliche for either an imaginary trip or a real-world jaunt.

Imagine a vehicle that could take you anywhere.
No, not crystal clear caves only accessible by boat,
Or snow, lounging on a mountainside, bright as a field of diamonds in the sun.
Both are too intimidating for a quick escape to somewhere. 

Imagine a vehicle that could take you anywhere.
No, not a yellow Volkswagen Beetle that only seats a driver comfortably,
Or a yellow submarine a la Captain Nemo and his 20,000 leagues.
Both are too uncomfortable to get very far if you're looking for somewhere different.

Imagine a vehicle that could take you anywhere.
No, not sticky green forests lush with life, and biting insects,
Or jutting granite cliffs for jumping off or climbing up.
Both are too dangerous for a trip absent disease or maiming.

Imagine a vehicle that could take you anywhere. 
Imagine where that anywhere might be.
Tell the world what you imagined.
They'll surely join you to your destination in your vehicle of choice, if your imaginings are compelling enough.
