¨:~:%%§@## ##@§%%:~:¨
¨¨:~:%%§@# 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. ##@§%%:~:¨
