It was at the end of one such hallway that John came upon the record room the room was small lit only by the sun filtering in through the curtain window facing the woods peeling wallpaper was yellow from years of cigar smoke with white rectangle suspended. Like ghosts on the walls, where picture frames once hung littered across the hardwood floor, where vinyl records coated in a layer of thick dust that
Puffed with each footfall catching John's eye was an old record player sitting in the corner. It was made from a rich dark wood, with ornate, carvings and garnished with embossed metal, a brass horn, flowered up and out from its base and a hand, crank sat ready at its side on its turntable, laid a record of such dark red that it was nearly black, the red, ridges and grooves of the Vinyl Gay John, the impression a blood cated hair he knew the record player must be worth something as an antique, but the price it would fetch would depend on whether it could still play so carefully. He moved the needle to the edge of the record and gave the crank a few turns
