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

.&.&&.&..& 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 is indeed a very high speed train ...&&.&&&.
&&&.&....& you're traveling in, the journey has ..&.&&..&.

.&..&..&.& &..&&&&..&
&&.&&.&&&. society is growing denser around you, &.&...&.&&

&.&&.&.&.& shacks, built of metal and stone, then ..&.&..&..
&&.&&&&&&& proper houses with mortar to keep them .&&&&.&&.&

.&&...&&.& .&.&.&....
&.&..&.&&& the tracks leave the ground, which is &&&&&&....

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