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.
