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.
