The perfect metaphor doesn't exi-- oh wait, it does. Linked lists are literally just shady middlemen of data structures, connecting you to the next node like some back-alley information broker. "You want the next value? I don't have it myself, but I know a guy who knows a guy." And that's how you traverse the entire criminal organization of nodes until you finally reach null, the equivalent of "sorry pal, end of the line." No random access here - just an elaborate chain of referrals that would make even mob bosses proud.
