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.
