@suesa ok ok ok now I have to run back and catch up on ALL of "Numb!
By the way - the word which caught my eye on this post was 'Ouroboros'! A person favorite of mine. Have you ever read the classic fantasy work The Worm Ouroboros by E.R. Eddison?
E.R. Eddison pre-dates J.R.R. Tolkien in the grand fantasy genre - and many elements of The Worm Ouroboros can still be found in modern fantasy books.
I highly recommend reading (or listening) to the story - when you take a short break from creating great content for Steemit!
