THE    TRAIN   IS    A   DASHING   ARROW 
 OVER               THE              SEA. 
                                     
                                    
                                     
 LOOK    CLOSER   -   IT'S   NOT   WATER. 
                                    
                                  
                                    
 THE LOWLAND WHICH  WAS  ONCE THE MIDRIFF 
 OF  SWEDEN.  THE  SALT  FLATS  SPAN  FOR 
 HUNDREDS OF MILES.  FROM  A  NARROW LINE 
 OF HILLS  THE TRAIN  LOWERS  ITSELF ONTO 
 THE  CRYSTALS AND SHOOTS NORTH,  LIKE  A 
 SYRINGE       INTO       A       BALOON. 
                                  
                                
                                  
                                
                                  
 THEY CALL  IT  THE "MANDELBROT  CRATER", 
 AND IT IS THE REST OF A MINING DISASTER. 
                                    
                                   
                                    
 SUN  HITS  THE FOUR-RAILED TRACK,  AS IT 
 FRACTURES  INTO VILLAGES OR  PAST  THEM. 
 THE  PEOPLE  HERE  ARE PALE  BUT  CRISP, 
 REFLECTIONS    OF   SOME   OTHER   WORLD 
                                     
                                    
                                     
 THEY ALWAYS  SEEM A BIT ANNOYED THAT YOU 
 ARE  MANIFESTING  THEM   INTO   PHYSICAL 
 FORM. LIKE  IF  YOU  WEREN'T HERE,  THEY 
 WOULD  BE  NOTHING  MORE  THAN  THE  SUN 
 AGAINST           THE           PLATFORM
