Shell Tones

Perhaps because of being a mathteacher with an avid interest incosmology, the author has acquired anexpectancy of alternatives such as &quote;ifnot real, then imaginary&quote; all the wayto &quote;if not matter, then antimatter.&quote;This has led to the &quote;what if factor&quote;demonstrated in his novel. &quote;What if&quote;(to the first power) a man can hearsounds emanating from paintings in amuseum? To what end, you might ask:perhaps a hobby of catalogingmasterpieces based on tones from oneto four? But &quote;what if&quote; (squared), in thepresence of a foreign object theoriginal painting becomes silent, assilent as a movie poster or even areproduction. What did the paintinghave that the poster didn't have?What, then, did it lose? Is this causefor alarm? In Shell Tones, it is!
