HETERONYM 8: RECORD
Jalen adjusted the microphone before hitting record. He wanted the podcast to sound perfect—clear, warm, and natural. Hours later, he played the finished record, pleased that every voice blended smoothly. On his desk sat a vinyl record his father had given him years ago, its surface scratched but still playable. When the final edit exported, Jalen leaned back, remembering how that old song had sparked his dream to record stories for others to hear.
