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.
