I was thinking what if every        -       letter
was a language unto itself            .                   .         |
|      .       & could only               speak to those letter s
to either side; sending       |        messages up & down
the alphabet starting, w/  A telling B to relay            |
the message to C, who tells              D, & by the time
the message gets to Z, Z        .     has to interpret    23
languages, starting w/ Y to                        |
get the original message sent by A.
