HETERONYM 7: WOUND
Maria wrapped the bandage carefully around her wound, tightening it just enough to stop the bleeding. She’d cut her hand fixing the garden gate that morning. Later, she wound the hose around its holder and smiled at the irony of the same motion. In the evening, she played an old music box her father had left her, turning the key until the tune began to rise and fall. As the melody played, she looked at her bandaged hand and felt both pain and peace twine together.
