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.
