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.
