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.
