Drop of the First Ladder

The audio begins with the distinct sound of a ladder being positioned, the metal rungs clinking against each other. Suddenly, there's an unexpected shift in weight, followed by a high-pitched scraping noise as the ladder's tip slips and begins to sway precariously. The suspense in the air heightens right before the inevitable fall, a heart-stopping moment that's just a breath away. Then, there's the crash. The ladder drops, each rung hitting the ground in quick succession, creating a cacophony of metallic echoes. The sound of the fall resonates, leaving an unsettling feeling of an event gone wrong. The echo of the fallen ladder gradually fades away, leaving behind a silence that's almost deafening.
