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.
