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.
