Language is power, life and the instrument of culture, the instrument of domination and liberation.

I need your help with this. Please keep it quiet.

“OK, then,” Mike mumbled. “Let’s see what’s so important I have to ‘keep it quiet.’” He opened the pdf attachment.

“What the hell?” he asked himself.

The document displayed a series of images that appeared to be a language but not one he could identify. It vaguely resembled pictographic languages, such as Egyptian hieroglyphs and cuneiform. It looked more evolved, but not in the way modern languages like Chinese and Japanese had developed from the formalization of pictographic languages.

“What the hell is this?” he asked himself, getting more excited.

It almost had the flair of an invented language, like one of J. R. R. Tolkien’s. The pdf file was only two pages, but those pages were covered edge-to-edge in writing. Mike was certain he’d never seen an alphabet like this before.

He pressed reply but couldn’t be sure in doing so what he was getting himself into.
