Music and Wonder

IN MONUMENTS OF WONDER This is the newest incarnation of MUSIC AND WONDER  and begins with a focus on ambitiously construed fictive modalities alone, with a special emphasis on the WONDER part of the mission here. Music is everywhere. The constant listener finds the treasures.  Thanks for reading! Dixon Tower Skip this one first. In which I discover that the transcription robots have changed my version of this stolen story of the bro detectives. The transcription software kept making up new people. I have been working on this for 12 years now. It is too long to read. Most of it no longer makes any sense anyway. It wasn't meant to, but it has cleus. The Lune I See The title so far has changed several times, it always says something simple somehow about the moon. Because of a dream I created a shelter and after the world ended, my wife and I lived there successfully, until the plague.
