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.
