Synopsis

## Echoes in the Static The old radio hummed, a persistent counterpoint to the quiet dust motes dancing in the single shaft of sunlight. It had been silent for years, a forgotten relic in the attic’s gloom. Now, it crackled with a ghostly energy, a faint whisper from a bygone era. Elara traced the chipped paint on the cabinet, her fingers lingering on the faded floral pattern. The air smelled of aged wood and something else…a hint of lavender, perhaps, or the ghost of a long-lost perfume.
