.&&....&&. &.&.&&&&..
&.&...&.&& 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. &&........

.&&&&&&..& 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 ....&....&

&..&&&.&&& 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 &..&&..&..

.&.&..&&.. ....&.&..&

...&&&&&&. 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. .&.&&&&.&.
