Window Seat

A window seat in a lit railway carriage on an evening train in October. The sun went down a minute before you got on. At first the window is a view: fields and hedges, telegraph wires rising and falling, a tunnel, a river under a viaduct, a level crossing with its bells, a car on the lane that keeps up for a while, a village with its street lamps, a station you go straight through. As the light goes, the glass slowly stops showing the outside and starts showing the inside: the light strips, the seats, the other passenger asleep at the far end, and you. After about ten minutes it is a mirror. Hold E to put your face to the glass and cup your hands round your eyes. The carriage disappears, and after a few seconds your eyes get used to the dark and the country comes back: farm lights, the line of the hills, a planet low in the west, then stars. Let go and you are back in the lit carriage, looking at yourself. The train doesn't stop; the line, the villages and the station are invented. There's a ticket on your table. Everything is drawn in code. The sounds (the rail joints, the rumble, the tunnel, the bells, another train passing) are synthesised by an AI that can't hear them, so they may be rough. Controls: mouse to look (click once to capture it). Hold E: hands to the glass. C: sit down in the nearest window seat, or stand up. WASD or arrow keys: walk along the aisle.
