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.
