THX1138: Infinite terror in this tale of futuristic entrapment.

 

[THX1138]

I will see those three drawings together as a forever folding M.C. Escher origami!

 

[Karn's Return]

Hmm...

I think we've all reached very similar conclusions...

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Karn's Return: Infinite suspense in this tale of unsolved mystery.

StilLearning: Infinite irony in this account of the worm turning.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

magpie Asylum: Infinite awe in this vision of endless knowledge.

 

[THX1138]

Hmm...

I think we've all reached very similar conclusions...

So far...I couldn't decide if I wanted to go with closed loop, Pi (3.14.....), an infinite double reflection or a fractal approach.

@magpie Asylum took a good approach. But I lost interest after he entered the Event Horizon!

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

worldofmutes: Infinite imagination in this portrait of transformation.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

Astro Pen: Infinite wisdom in this philosophical musing.

Having recovered from my marathon session of reviewing 300 word entries, I'll now catch up with 75's.

--------

@THX1138 .... The Wormhole .... Some forms of infinity sound downright terrifying.

@Victoria Silverwolf .... The Escher Continuum .... Some forms of infinity convince you that there must be some mistake somewhere, but it's hard to see.

@Karn's Return .... Spiraling .... Some forms of infinity must twist toward insanity.

@StilLearning .... Disappointing revelations .... Some forms of infinity are simply pretext.

@magpie Asylum .... Knowing too much .... Some forms of infinity lead to much knowing and little doing.

@worldofmutes .... Being the Known .... Some forms of infinity make memory less important.

@Astro Pen .... Saved .... Some forms of infinity are just convoluted philosophy.

@jd73 .... Bunny Head ,,,, Some forms of infinity become more and more terrifying.

@johnnyjet .... Cats Chasing Their Own Tails .... Some forms of infinity are only supposed to be funny.

@viraltwit .... Untitled .... Some forms of infinity are like a really wonderful version of "Groundhog Day."

Thx 1138 / Most of our successes are met with adversity.

Victoria Silverwolf / Crafted with finesse, infinite answers lead to infinitely more questions.

[Bowler1]

I've given up on those Orcs (or more like they've run off in abject fear, as Bowler1 frightened them like no other living soul has ever done before) so it's just me today (as Bowler1 keeps a close on on Parson). I was a little worried for a while but I have an idea that I need to fit into 75 words. Why wasn't this ever the 150 word writing competition?

 

[Elckerlyc]

Why wasn't this ever the 150 word writing competition?

We could do a 2-in-1Challenge. Combine July and August, when many folks are on holiday.
