&.&&.&.... &.&......&
&&.&&&.... 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... .&&&.&..&.

&.&.&&.&&& 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? .&&&&..&..

...&....&. 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. &.&..&&.&.
