He was really into codes and he was good at breaking them.
His friends would often come up with encrypted messages, all in a code devised by them, for him to solve. So, that’s what he did. Some took longer than others, but they always got solved in the end. He’d been on his computer for most of the evening and he was getting tired. His eyes kept glazing over, but he pressed on. Finally he slumped gently over the keyboard. As he dozed, the side of his head occasionally rolled around on the keyboard creating, what to most people would be, gobbledegook. He’d only nodded off for a minute or two, but in that time a couple of dozen black symbols had been typed on the blank screen.
As he woke up, he was thrilled to see what was there. He stared at the screen… it had to be a code. He slid his notebook closer and picked up his pen.
If it is, he thought, this is a real doozy, but I can crack it!
