They say a lot of things about the Schwa, but one thing's for sure: no one ever noticed him. Except me. My name is Antsy Bonano--and I can tell you what's true and what's not, 'cause I was there. I was the one who realized the Schwa was \"functionally invisible\" and used it to make some big bugs. But I was also the one who caused him more grief than a friend should. So if you all just shut up and listen, I'll spill everything. Unless, of course, \"the Schwa Effect\" wipes him out of my brain before I'm done . . .
