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.
