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.
