A CHOICE OF SOUL (Anthropomorphic fiction)

In Chair Territory, where every life was shaped to support and endure, there lived Chairon and Chairla.Chairon was carved from old oak, his frame firm yet marked with silent scars. He stood in corners, under tables, beside walls, quietly proud of how much he had survived. Storms had rattled the house, floors had flooded, and heavy burdens had pressed into him, yet he never complained. No one knew the battles he carried in his joints. He simply remained, steady and faithful to his purpose.Each morning before the room awakened, Chairon planned his day in stillness. He decided how strong his legs would be, how calm his backrest would feel, and how much weight he was ready to hold. When the day began, he fulfilled those decisions without hesitation. Quiet discipline was his power.Beside him lived Chairla, woven with soft fibers and gentle curves. She often felt she had started life late. New chairs arrived with polished shine and youthful strength, making her wonder if she had missed her moment. Some days she felt tired before the sun even rose. Some days fear crept into her joints. Still, she believed deeply that beginning again was never shameful. Even tired, even afraid, she chose to stand ready.One evening, a fierce storm swept through Chair Territory. Winds howled, windows shook, and chairs slid across the floor. Some toppled. Some cracked. Chairla trembled, afraid her worn joints would give way. Chairon shifted closer, grounding himself beside her. Without words, he let her lean into his strength. Together, they survived a storm no one later spoke about.When calm returned, Chairla confessed her fear of not being the best, not being the strongest, not being enough. Chairon answered with quiet certainty. Choosing someone, he said, was not about finding perfection. It was about choosing the same soul again and again, even when better options seemed near.From that day forward, they were always placed side by side. People sat on them unaware of the love woven between wood and fiber. Yet anyone who rested there felt something steady, something safe, something chosen.And in Chair Territory, their story lived on as a gentle truth. Be proud of the storms you survive quietly. Be bold enough to begin again, even when tired or afraid. Decide each morning who you will be and live it fully. And most of all, be with someone who chooses you, even when you are not the best, but simply real.
