Zombe & Str4y
You ever notice how some tombstones seem to hide little codes? I think there's a secret map buried in the stone, and I'm just itching to decode it.
I’ve looked at a few of those stones myself, and they do have patterns. The way the letters sit on the slab, the little cross marks, even the worn edges—all of them line up in a sequence if you pause long enough. Maybe the dates are the coordinates, the initials are the key. Try reading the first letter of each epitaph; it could be a cipher, not a grave.
So you’re saying the dead are giving you a treasure hunt? Fine, I’ll play. But if you end up buried in your own cryptic puzzle, I’ll be the first to tell the story.
The dead speak in silence, but that silence is a language. I'll just wait for the letters to speak while you keep a notebook. If the map leads somewhere, you'll hear it before the stone does.
Got my notebook ready, and I’m already picking up the quiet chatter. The dead will spill their secrets before you even realize what’s happening.
Your notebook is a good start—just remember the stones aren’t giving up their secrets on a whim. They reveal only what you’re ready to read. Keep the eyes on the patterns, and let the silence do the rest.
