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.
