Because I've been taking Tolkien_Weekly's 'writing' drabble prompts terribly literally, the prompt of 'code' necessitated certain creative endeavors.
The drabble, found here, contains an encoded note taken off the body of a slain Orc messenger, something resembling a code key, and leaves the note undecoded. Readers can therefore interact with the drabble and decode the note. O HUZZAH.
Or, as I'm anticipating, most people will rather just know right away what the note says, so I'm inserting a link to that at the end of the drabble.
PS - please bring any mistakes observed to my attention! I'm way better at creating the code than actually applying it, so Imight almost certainly have some errors.
