The train slows down,  goes in the station and stops.  The wind whistles and I gaze on 
the right dock  at a sign  with this inscription "Onyr Town",  that shakes in the air. 
Suddenly  the stationmaster's whistle  rings,  immediately  followed from the noise of 
the wheels  that  start  again and quickly improve speed.  I am always flying, but now 
behind the train.  At a long distance there is  a fantastic town,  building with steel 
and glass,  sparkling in the light of the day.  Probably it is Onyr Town,  the country 
of dreams.  Opposite  us  there  is  a very high mountain  and  I  see  distinctly the 
entrance of a tunnel, always more near. We continue incredibly to accellerate. At this 
point  the train changes and becomes a subway convoy,  always on monorail  and  always 
futuristic.  We enter  in the tunnel.  The noise changes and becomes muffled,  just as 
that made  from an electric train into a subway.  My point of view moves from the back 
to the driver's cab.  We arrive to a station and we slow down without stop. During the 
passage the background noise  becomes more strong,  as we are passing through a larger 
environment.  The name of the station is written on the platform, but I do not succeed 
in reading it.  We  continue  without  stop into another tunnel,  only giving a shrill 
hoot,  while every noise  becomes  again muffled.  Then we exit from the tunnel and we 
are  now  into a transparent tube  under a green sea,  where  multicoloured fish swim. 
Underwater we see two pyramids and also a stone statue, half-buried in the sand. A new 
frightening tunnel  appears  in bottom direction,  vertically under our feet.  My look 
lingers on the stone statue,  that it is enormous,  and then suddenly we turn into the 
tunnel  at top speed  as  if we were diving for the world heart.  The scene returns in 
the tunnel  and  a succession of rectangular lights placed at constant interval on the 
vaulted roof  fastly  runs  up to me,  as if I was seated on the top of the train.  We 
arrive  in a second station and also this time I do not succeed  in decoding its name, 
also if it seems written  in a very evident way.  We slow down without stop and go on.
