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.
