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.
