.&&.&.&.&. (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? &..&.&.&.&

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