As the audio titled "Expectoration" begins, you first hear a soft, almost inaudible inhale, a typical human breath. This is followed by a brief pause, indicating a moment of gathering, perhaps a build-up of anticipation. Then, the main action occurs: the sound of a person expectorating, or spitting, which is a natural, albeit sometimes frowned upon human action. The sound is wet, possibly even a bit forceful, reflecting the expulsion of saliva from the mouth. The background remains quiet, highlighting the solitary act of the person involved. The audio ends almost as abruptly as it had begun, leaving behind a sense of raw humanity and a moment of everyday life captured in audio form. With the final echoes of the expectoration fading, there's a lingering reminder of the uniqueness and yet sameness of our human experiences.
