THE   TRAIN   IS    A    DASHING   ARROW 
 OVER               THE              SEA. 
                                     
                                    
                                     
 LOOK   CLOSER   -    IT'S   NOT   WATER. 
                                    
                                  
                                    
 THE  LOWLAND WHICH WAS ONCE THE  MIDRIFF 
 OF  SWEDEN.  THE  SALT  FLATS  SPAN  FOR 
 HUNDREDS  OF  MILES.  FROM A NARROW LINE 
 OF HILLS  THE TRAIN LOWERS  ITSELF  ONTO 
 THE  CRYSTALS  AND  SHOOTS NORTH, LIKE A 
 SYRINGE       INTO       A       BALOON. 
                                  
                                
                                  
                                
                                  
 THEY CALL  IT  THE "MANDELBROT  CRATER", 
 AND IT IS THE REST OF A MINING DISASTER. 
                                    
                                   
                                    
 SUN  HITS  THE FOUR-RAILED TRACK,  AS IT 
 FRACTURES INTO  VILLAGES  OR PAST  THEM. 
 THE  PEOPLE HERE  ARE  PALE  BUT  CRISP, 
 REFLECTIONS   OF   SOME   OTHER    WORLD 
                                     
                                    
                                     
 THEY ALWAYS SEEM A BIT  ANNOYED THAT YOU 
 ARE   MANIFESTING  THEM   INTO  PHYSICAL 
 FORM.  LIKE  IF YOU  WEREN'T  HERE, THEY 
 WOULD  BE  NOTHING  MORE  THAN  THE  SUN 
 AGAINST           THE           PLATFORM
