##¶&%$\~.¨ ¨.~\$%&¶##
#¶&%$\~.¨¨ 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... ¨¨¨.~\$%&¶

¶&%$\~.¨¨¨ youre at the train station, on a ¨¨¨.~\$%&¶
#¶&%$\~.¨¨ 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? ¨¨.~\$%&¶#

#¶&%$\~.¨¨ you're finally entering the city. while ¨¨.~\$%&¶#
¶&%$\~.¨¨¨ 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. ¨¨¨.~\$%&¶
