Steps

This audio titled "Steps" begins with the crisp sound of a record player needle dropping onto a vinyl disc. The room is silent, except for the soft static hum in the background, as the track starts to play. The music is faint, a simple tune that sets a rhythmic backdrop to the main focus of the audio; the sound of steps. The steps echo distinctly, the noise of shoes making contact with a hard floor. Each footfall is clear and resonates through the space, creating an almost hypnotic pattern against the underlying melody. The shoes sound heavy, possibly boots, their soles solid and firm, the slight drag and shuffle suggesting a deliberate pace. As the steps continue, they seem to move around the room, the sound subtly changing as the wearer walks over different sections of the floor. The echo slightly lessens when the shoes move across what sounds like a carpeted area, only to return when they reach a hardwood section. The audio ends with the steps
