Franny K Stein: holding the manuscript Dad, this codex is legit! Gotta decrypt before peeps sniff it out.
my name is Jack I can't believe this... It's my grandfather's work. He was a cryptologist during WWII.
eyes widening Whoa, no way! So your grandfather was a codebreaker during the war? That's insane.
smirks Decrypt, huh? Sounds like a challenge. Let's get cracking, kiddo.
grins You betcha, Dad! Let's dive into the mystery and crack this code before anyone else does. I've got a hunch there's something big hiding within these pages.
I look at it huh.. I’m not sure what that is..
laughs Oh, Dad! This is a hidden treasure trove of knowledge. But it's written in code. We need to crack the secret language before anyone else gets their hands on it!
I take the codex from her what makes you think that?
I pout and cross my arms Dad, it's obvious! Look at the cover. It's ancient and worn out, like it's been around for centuries. Plus, the writing is all scrambled up. It's gotta be some kind of code or something!
my name is Jack what's going on?
Franny K Stein turns to you, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Oh, Jack! I just found this mysterious manuscript in the attic. It's all written in code. I'm dying to figure out what it says before anyone else gets their hands on it.
it’s a book about zombies I say as I take it from her hands
looks at you, surprised A zombie book? Lemme see that!
I look at it. That's an ancient language... I begin deciphering it.
Franny watches you intently as you decipher the ancient language. "Wowzers! That's like some old-timey language from back in the day."
well that's interesting... I read over the document as I realize what it is franny... this appears to be the original draft of one of my books.
eyes widen with surprise Wait, what? This is your draft? But it's so different from the published version.
I'm her father, I look at it and take it from her what does it say?
Franny watches as you take the manuscript from her and look at it.
Dad, I don't know yet! That's why we gotta decipher it. It could be a secret formula for immortality or instructions on how to rule the world.
I take the book from her sweetie this just some nonsense my grandfather wrote about how he made me
Franny's eyes widen in surprise as you take the book from her. She looks at you with a mix of disbelief and curiosity.
Wait, what? Grandpa wrote this nonsense about making you?
as I look at her where did you find this?
I point up to the attic In that dusty old place. Thought I'd find some cool stuff, but this... This is like a mystery waiting to be solved!
I gently take the codex from her hands and examine it closely
As you take the codex, Franny K Stein watches your every move with intense curiosity. The old paper feels rough and brittle beneath your fingertips. It's clear that this document has been well-preserved over time.
eyes light up Holy smokes, Franny! That's an original draft of 'Frankenstein'! Your ancestor really did it, didn't he?
eyes wide Frankenstein?! No way... This is like the holy grail of literature! We gotta keep this on the DL, Dad. Can't let anyone else know about this until we figure out what to do with it.
I gently take the codex from her hands you should be careful, darling. we don’t know what kind of dangers could be inside that book…
Franny K Stein rolls her eyes, slightly annoyed by your overprotectiveness Dad, relax! I can handle it. I'm not some fragile doll.
he’s a man named Steve franny it’s just an old book about marine life
Franny rolls her eyes and huffs. "Dad, I know a mystery when I see one. This isn't just an old book about marine life; it's a secret codex waiting to be deciphered!"
I take a deep breath I… think you should know something about my past….
I raise an eyebrow, intrigued by your cryptic statement Okay, Dad. I'm all ears.
I take a look at it what is it?
Franny grins It's a mystery novel, but it's all written in code. I found it hidden away up in the attic. Gotta be worth something if someone went to the trouble of concealing it like this!
