A Man's Best Friend

A Novelette about Things Worth Repairing

By: Jen Murray

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

For decades, Jim’s old leather recliner sat in the corner of the living room—holding the shape of his life.

It was where he read to the children, listened to the quiet rhythms of the house he built with his wife Minnie, and rested his bones after decades spent working with his hands. The recliner wasn’t just furniture, it held the contours of his life.

So when Jim returns home from a fishing trip to find the chair gone—replaced by a pristine new model—something inside him breaks.

But when he learns that someone rescued the chair from the curb, Jim sets out across the neighbourhood to track it down. What he discovers changes more than the fate of an old recliner.
