&.&.&..&.& &.&.&.&.&.
&.&.&.&&.& (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. &.&.&.&.&.
&.&.&.&&.& &.&.&.&.&.
&.&.&..&.& &.&.&.&.&.
&.&.&.&&.& &.&.&.&.&.
