The Adventures of a Chair
Chapter
II
Diving
in Soda
The
chair sits. In darkness. Nothing surrounds the chair, but the pure
pitch black void... But teacups start dancing around the chair,
holding hands. All the teacups have inside is sugar. The dance, then
grab sugar from inside them and throw it on the ground. The keep
doing that until the black floor is covered in sugar and the teacups
have nothing left. They smile as they slowly melt on the floor into
more sugar. The sugar crawls on the ground, as it makes sandy noises,
heading into one spot, creating a long cylindrical tube of sugar. It
then starts to take shape into one larger teacup. It reaches the
height of the fridge. It slowly walks around the chair, with its
hands on the chair's back all the time, chanting something
otherworldly... so mysterious, enigmatic, with a deep masculine
voice... It then slowly moves the chair through the void. It keeps
chanting. In front of the chair, from the void, a white crack slowly
forms, and slowly opens... The light is blinding and the chair has to
close its eyes for some time. Finally, it opens them and sees vast
amounts of vegetation similar to one of a jungle's. The sky is of a
strong light blue. Where the crack seems to have been is a mountain.
Together with the crack disappeared the teacup... Where was the
chair? What was happening?
The
chair decides to walk around, see if it can find anything. But, out
of nowhere, something in the shape of a bulb, attached to a long vine
climbs down on the chair (the chair's eyes are on its seat back). It
can see the bulb being torn down, and from the inside a green
monkey-like creature being reavealed. It screams. The chair would
scream, but it can't, but the monkey can feel the chair screaming.
Then the monkey calms down. It can feel the chair relaxing too. The
monkey stares where the chair's eyes should be and the chair stairs
back. The chair focuses its mind on the monkey and pushes it off the
chair. The monkey falls to the ground with an 'oof' then gets back up
on the chair. It starts sniffing the chair everywhere. Its breath
stinks so bad the chair would throw up. But the chair can't throw up,
nor can it eat. So the monkey keeps sniffing. Then it starts making
sounds. What is it doing? Is it alerting its comrades? Is it
threatening the chair? Is it befriending the chair? How on earth can
the chair know? But whatever is happening, it seems best for the
chair to run. If it's in danger, running seems ideal, if it's not,
running won't do anything bad.
So
the chair runs. Then trips over a vine. And sits. It can't get up and
can feel the monkey sitting near itself. It picks it up by its seat
back and starts dragging it through the jungle-like biome. What could
the chair do about that? It's a chair. It has the strength of a
chair. That almost equivalents to 0. The monkey has arms, muscles..
The chair can't protect itself. Usually, the chair only sits around
other living chairs and then normal objects. Nothing else alive but
those of its... blood? The chair has no blood. It has wood. But not
all chairs are of the same wood. The same... species? Species seems
appropriate.
The
chair keeps being dragged, being moved up and down at every vine on
the ground. It is starting to hurt so it decides to close its eyes
and hope to fall asleep.
The
chair wakes up. It looks around itself. It is in a tribe from the
jungle, from the looks of it. But, it just seems empty.. No sound can
be heard, but the slow breeze of wind, no movement can be seen, from
anywhere. But the chair was tied to the ground with rope. But,
suddenly, from the trees, bulbs come down and crack open. Monkeys
come out and circle the chair. They each grab a stick and... every
one stabs the one to their right. Everybody killed each other. They
fall to the ground, and the chair can smell rotting. But, in what
seems like 5 minutes, their meat slowly compresses. Each monkey's
corpse compresses into a different spot. And slowly the corpse turns
white. And all of the corpses turn into 15cm diameter marble balls.
Then they all crumble into a very fine sandy texture: sugar. Then
they each form into a different pillar, then slowly melt on the
ground, then form back again into... teacups. 5 teacups stand in
front of it, then another 4 jump on the 5, then 3 jump on the 4, then
2 on the 3, then 1 on the 2, forming a 15 teacup pyramid. Then they
all jump, simultaneously, hitting the ground hard. They change into
one large teacup in front of the chair's eyes: the one large teacup
from beforehand. It goes up to the chair and rolls and flips upside
down. The chair is in the teacup. Darkness surrounds it. It can feel
its bondage disappearing. It is in the void again. What was
happening? Whatever was happening, it had to do with the teacup. And
it knew it had to stop it.
The
same thing as last time happens: teacups surround it, they get
crushed, take shape of a bigger teacup and drag the chair to a crack
in the void. It opens it eyes...
The
chair is now in what looks like a normal small apartment precisely a
bedroom. But, to its surprise, inside the bed is a living peace of
flesh covered with pink skin in the shape of a humanoid, covered by a
white thick blanket, with long black hair: a... human? But how could
this be possible? The chair lived in the Object World.. it could not
be! How is it... back?!
