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.
