So ... to respond to all 3 of your posts! I'd never heard of an EBow, but I've learned it goes back to the 70's; I had to know more, so I found a demo

I'm pretty sure that I can now recognize it in some of the music from that time, or at least the 80's. Would you or Brian know if The Cure and/or Talking Heads (Mojique?)ever used it? I'm pretty sure that that's it in The Forest that I posted.
Geddy Lee is a dynamo of a demi-god - powerful personality projection and presence … the Nose has It! I'm not much into Rush, but I happened to watch him doing some kind of show for an Ontario celebration with lots of odds and ends added in. I really enjoyed it and was quite impressed! Journey does super Rush covers - I wonder if he has a nose to match! :-)
My eyes are doing better, but along with my brain issues and the complexity of your Xanon characters and plot, I have a feeling that I shouldn't try to tackle until I'm a bit more in the clear in general. I have now properly bookmarked it.
In that first story, I was sure that it was related to a magic show where they saw the woman in half ... I still have no idea what his job actually was. Quite the twists! I'm going to read what you posted again tomorrow - I'm usually most functional sometime in the middle of the day. LOL! And I finally made some bread dough that's in the fridge - tomorrow I'll bake rolls and make a Greek Salad!
