A Code [Spies]
Pondering life, and doing not much else, I came to invent a code. Since I have no need for these things, I thought I might release it to my readers, as a sort of thank you.

What does matter? The time you sent it.
I’m thinking that each time stamp could stand for a certain message, indicator or other phrase.
What could make this better?
