Tower of C

Subscribe to the Tower of C, the successor to the Tower of Babel, where they started speaking all these weird languages like French and Urdu. Speaking of Babel, that thing went down real quick-like one hot Summer day. A group of us were sitting around the fountain on the 3rd floor, sharing the latest ancient warrior gossip, and Bam! Suddenly I couldn’t understand a word this guy Loduk was saying, and while that was not strange in and of itself – Loduk’s stories were long-winded and rambling – this was different. It was like a hole-notha-language -- a.k.a., the HNL -- and anyways, a few of us got to gesturing, and we decided to just assign meaning to each letter in the alphabet, and in that way, we'd still be able to communicate. Well, to make a long story even longer, that’s how we got to call my home the Tower of C. Just one letter. But a whole lotta meaning. Which worked out for a month or so, but when you only have 26 things to say, conversation can be pretty boring.
