SERIALISED DYSTOPIAN FICTION
"Nothing lasts, really, neither happiness nor despair. Not even life lasts very long…"
Noël Coward, ‘Brief Encounter’
FROM TRANSITORY
TO THE TRAVELLER
Thank you for choosing to visit Rail Noorskii, home of 'Transitory'.
Should you choose to embark on this journey with us, you will experience twice-weekly excursions into the world of "Lokomotiv", an extended project in dystopian fiction, a journey through the imagination, its ephemeral stage sets and locations.
We'll be sharing with you visuals and artefacts. You'll discover the nature of The Rosi-Ikon, The Great Poisoning and The Vanishing. And who knows, along the way, you may even learn to speak a little Noorskii.

ESSENTIAL PHRASES FOR YOUR EMBARKATION
BOARD RAIL NOORSKII
Locomotive follows locomotive, engine after engine. How many are there? Count them – nineteen in total. The train is long, then, very long indeed. It grew organically. Coaches and wagons were added as the need for them arose and where they were available. Additional locomotives came after. They form the head of the mighty beast, this blue whale of a train, dragging the vast body behind them.
