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.
