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.
