"Alright, attic time!" David announced to himself, his voice brimming with enthusiasm as he climbed the rickety stairs. He loved old houses, loved the stories they held.

He spotted a dusty old record player and a box brimming with vinyl records. He rubbed his hands together, his face alight. Finally, a way to play his favorite music.

He unearthed a record with a familiar title. "The Beatles!" he exclaimed. He eagerly cleaned the record and placed it on the turntable, his foot tapping in anticipation as the music began to fill the space.
