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.
