Dear Mr. VC,
I spoke too soon! Rockefeller has elevated your capital to the Terminal already. You can check out his complimentary critique of it by clicking on the floor icon of our home page. Now how long the terminal will take with it remains to be seen. But we're off to a good start. Best of luck!
Funny story: in the critique, rockefeller refers to your venture as Xenos Parable of the Busted Muffler, which I immediately connected to in my mind with Xenos Paradox and which I took to be the actual title of your venture. So it took me a while to realize I wasn't looking for a gmail by the title of Xenos Parable etc. But then I looked up Xenos Paradox and realized my error was equating your name Xenos with the homophonically correct but grammatically incompatible Greek philosopher Zeno in reference to the aforementioned Zeno's Paradox. Now we can get into the weeds and pontificate on how my interpretational mistake had all to do with the apostrophe followed by the 's' on Zeno's name that gave him possession of those self same paradoxes because without it the homophonic connection would not have been representational and, perhaps, I wouldn't have jumped to that conclusion, but then again, this rambling on might very well be representative of a conundrum not unlike one of Zeno's Paradoxes, thus creating a new category that we might coin Xenos Paradox?
OMG!

Awesome, always happy to blow a mind! People always think of Zeno (or even Zeus) when they hear my name without seeing it spelled.
Feel free to let Rockefeller know, if you'd like, that the building blocks of the story were actual events, just rearranged to make something like a narrative.
Thanks for all that so far. Let's see how far it goes!

I believe Rox frequents this annex of the mainframe. Maybe he'll chime in.

"...actual events, arranged to make something like a narrative." The essence of the memoir. I kind of thought so. But with just the right amount of research to sharpen specifics and detail. Some truly fine work imo.
