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.
