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.
