Why this must be read: Besides the fact that this is sad without being angsty, this is notable for the way the narrative unfolds - it does so gradually, and nothing is out of place. It's delicately written, subtle, and has a sense of grace about it. This isn't a piece that will grab you. It's a piece that simply comes over and sits down next to you. Stories like that are hard to find, and it's a pleasure to come across and share them.
The very beginning:
House decided that there was someone, somewhere who was responsible for designing these plastic chairs. They probably ironed creases in the front of their pants and never, ever went out with girls. In revenge, they created chairs that were only comfortable if you had three buttocks and no shoulder blades. He shifted again, knowing that he wasn’t going to get comfortable, but not giving up hope of finding a position that wasn’t agony for at least one part of his anatomy.
