Hidden

A Drabble is an extremely short work of fiction exactly one hundred words in length. The purpose of the drabble is brevity and to express interesting and meaningful ideas in an extremely confined space.
The gloom in the room was so thick that it was almost palpable.
Both of them tired from the tireless but futile arguments were now, lost in their own thoughts… thoughts of their little girl who had not come home since last night.
He felt suffocated, so went out.
A brown colored envelope caught his eye.
Carefully, he opened it and saw a strange jumble of letters…
Can you help him unravel this tangled hidden message?

@ ALL : Thank you guys for your time and patience.
It’s time to unravel the tangled hidden message left by the “little’ girl.
Many racked their brains and few got the Hidden message right.
Well done Lazy Pineapple, Saurabh, Siddhesh, Tuppence and Kavita!! 🙂
The answer lies on your Computer/Laptop keyboard.
Type the letter to the left of the letter in the code.
And Eureka…you have the girl’s message!! 🙂
Cheers 🙂
