Man Gets Mocked For His Inheritance, Then He Finds This

Growing Quiet

We took out an old record player, together with stacks of vinyl that rest on top of the cases next. It was dusty but in good condition. The records were still in their sleeves and included some true classics. My siblings’ mockery grew quieter as they realized the depth of what lay here. It wasn’t trash. It was my father’s past, each item a piece of his story.
