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.
