¨#¨###¨### ¨¨¨##¨##¨#
####¨¨##¨¨ 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... ¨¨¨#¨¨#¨¨¨

######¨#¨¨ #¨#####¨¨¨
#¨¨¨¨¨###¨ 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? #¨###¨¨##¨

¨¨#¨###¨## #¨¨¨¨¨¨###
#¨###¨¨##¨ 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. #¨¨¨#¨#¨##
