The Script of Iopraex
The Script of Iopraex is a mysterious document which appears time and time again throughout both history and the world, written each time by a new author.
The script itself appears to be gibberish to all but the mad, even those who write it rarely understand its words. The language used doesn't seem to have any clear connections to those extant, this is further complicated by the fact that it has been written across the world by people that speak entirely disparate languages. Scholars who attempt to study the document either leave their station, having gone mad in the process, or attempt to destroy their copies.
An Unknown Tongue
Burn it! I tell you, do not let those words reach the wrong hands— for it could be the end of us all.Those who manage to translate the text, speak of a recipient— stating that the text is a letter. To who, or what, they refuse to speak of— simply that it cannot reach them.

This is a fantastic, creepy take on the prompt! I like that the whole thing is a mystery. I wonder who or what is taking over these bodies, and what the letters true purpose is.
Thank you! I have some ideas on it, unsure if I'll write explicitly about the purpose, or if I'll write about the beings involved and only hint at this— or just leave it alone!
