¨^~††@&### ###&@††~^¨
¨^~††@&### 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 ###&@††~^¨

¨^~††@&### 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 #@†~¨¨¨¨¨¨
