Inside this hyperfiction novel endings migrate into beginnings; characters revise into new ones. Reading any individual section in TxM6 will not tell "the story." Some individual parts may not even directly connect to what seems at first, principal themes. Each part is one uncut piece of a whole puzzle. Some scenes are painted in black, gray, red or day-glow colors, and consist of disparate elements. Included (partial list) in TxM6 are diaries, newspaper accounts, poetry and the seemingly casual dialogue of the characters and narration of principals. When you read each part, chapter, section, poem, prose poem one by one, you collect information like reading a newspaper, magazine, history book, or book of poems. Gathering the parts, you will reach that moment when it all comes together. Once inside, you may discover ordinary truth, lies, or perhaps geodes compounded with fool's gold. Consider geodes. We never know what we will discover when we smash or cut open 100 million year old maps to once molten and geological space eons deep. There could be nothing inside the split rock, or we could discover the unintended and sometimes artificial mirrors that enclose our wonderfully perverse and unpredictable universe. There is chance in hyperlinks. Once there you may or may not go back. Once known -- you may change your mind and find a new way. One set of beliefs may rapidly transform into another and then twist into a third or a fourth. Nothing is certain. Without that risk, there is more of that boredom that you really fear.
