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.
