..&&&&&&&& (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... .&&&.&.&&&

&&&&&.&... &&&&...&..
&....&&&.. 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? &.&..&.&&&

.&....&&.. .&&.&&...&
&&&...&.&. 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. &...&&..&.
