TRAIN DREAM               
     
                                       
                                         
                                         
                                          
                (SITUATION)               
                                          
 YOU   FIND  YOURSELF  IN   A  RIFT  -  A 
  CLEARING, NARROW BUT IMMEASURABLY LONG. 
 TO  YOUR SIDES  ARE WALLS MADE OF TREES, 
 THICK AND READY TO SWALLOW  YOU. THE SUN 
 IS  NOWHERE TO  BE SEEN, BUT  NONTHELESS 
 IT IS VERY BRIGHT  - THE AIR FEELS LIGHT 
           BLUE, ALMOST WHITE.            
                                          
 ALONG THE  SPAN OF THE CLEARING  LAY TWO 
    PARALLEL SILVERY LINES, DARK HARD     
 METAL. SOMEHOW  YOU  CAN SEE  HOW  HEAVY 
                 THEY ARE.                
                                          
 THEY  EMIT   A   HIGH  PITCHED  WHINE... 
                                          
                                         
                                     
                                         
                                          
                (SITUATION)               
                                          
 YOURE  AT  THE   TRAIN STATION,   ON   A 
 CATWALK ABOVE  THE  RAILS. YOUR TRAIN IS 
 LATE, OR  YOU  ARE  LATE  TO THE  TRAIN. 
 IT'S A SUMMER AFTERNOON AND  THE STATION 
 IS  BUSY,  FULL  OF RELAXED  CONFIDENCE. 
                                          
 YOU'RE  IN  HIGH SPIRITS, ALTHOUGH A BIT 
 STRESSED  ABOUT  THE  TIME, WHILE MOVING 
 UP  THE  STAIRS  TO  YOUR PLATFORM.  THE 
 STATION   IS   IN  SEVERAL  LEVELS,  ALL 
      PLACED WITHIN EACHOTHER BY SOME     
    INTELLIGENT DESIGNER, AND FULL OF     
       STAIRS, ELEVATORS, SHORTCUTS,      
 BAZAARS... YOU SIGHT YOUR  TRAIN THROUGH 
 SOME  GLASS  WINDOWS.  IT'S... NOT WHERE 
           IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE?           
                                          
                                         
                                     
                                         
                                          
                (SITUATION)               
                                          
 YOU'RE FINALLY ENTERING  THE CITY. WHILE 
 IT IS INDEED  A  VERY HIGH  SPEED  TRAIN 
 YOU'RE  TRAVELING  IN,  THE  JOURNEY HAS 
 BEEN  LONG.  BUT  IT'S  ABOUT   TO  END! 
                                          
 SOCIETY  IS  GROWING  DENSER AROUND YOU, 
 THROUGH THE WINDOWS YOU SEE FIRST  SMALL 
 SHACKS, BUILT OF METAL AND  STONE,  THEN 
 PROPER HOUSES  WITH MORTAR  TO KEEP THEM 
 TOGETHER...  WHO  IN  TURN  MAKE WAY FOR 
   THE INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS, THE URBAN    
      MAZE, PROTECTIVE WALLS, JUNGLE      
                NETWORK...                
                                          
 THE  TRACKS  LEAVE  THE GROUND, WHICH IS 
 NEEDED  FOR  OTHER  PURPOSES.   YOU  ARE 
   CARRIED GENTLY, CURVING UPWARDS UNTIL  
 YOU'RE  MOVING UPWARD  ALONG THE WALL OF 
 A BUILDING. IT'S MADE OF  SLABBY  STONE, 
     WITH GREAT GLASSLESS WINDOW HOLES    
 LOOKING  OUT THE  WAY  YOU  CAME.  IT IS 
           PITCH BLACK INSIDE.
