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.
