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.
