The Code

I just quietly watched him from afar. He didn’t know I was watching. He was sitting at his desk quietly, almost silently, sounding out the words written on one of his DVD’s.

He wasn’t completing a trial. He wasn’t working because I or anyone else was bribing him with a reward. There were no tokens to be earned or timer to check.

He was curious. He was learning. He was reading because he wanted to. He was pushing himself to decipher this code using skills he has been taught.
