Once upon a whisper, in the cluttered attic of an old house, there lay a forgotten tape recorder. Flickering dust motes danced to the heartbeat of memories long gone, tucked away in the folds of time. Each click of its rusty switch summoned echoes of voices barely recognizable, yet achingly familiar.
In one of those hushed recordings, there's a soft laugh—perhaps the ghost of a childhood friend or a specter of summer evenings sipped under the faded glow of a porch light. The laughter blends with the sound of rustling leaves, painting a scene where hours stretched like shadows at dusk.
The tales are fragmentary, like shaping clouds with a wistful eye. Even the record player couldn't contain the stories: someone murmuring about the lost garden at the end of the block, a conspiratorial giggle, or a murmur about runaway dreams into the midnight sky.
