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.
