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.
