Hi, I am Leggy. I am a table with four very reliable legs, and I am brown. I spend my days exactly where I belong: in the center of the living room. It is a quiet existence, but a deeply important one.
My best friend is the couch. We spend almost all of our time together. We are opposites in many ways—he is plush, forgiving, and designed for collapsing into. I am sturdy, flat, and built to hold the weight of coffee cups, remote controls, and the occasional pair of tired feet. But we make a great team.
When the house is quiet, the couch and I talk about the future. We don't have much of a future to discuss, to be honest, because we are furniture. The most exciting thing that might happen to us is being pushed a few inches to the left during spring cleaning, or maybe getting a new rug beneath us. But we talk about it anyway, because it passes the time.
I realize my life lacks the velocity of a bird or the wildness of a dragon, but there is honor in stillness. I hold things up. That is what I do.
If you want to visit the digital equivalent of my spot in the living room, I have my own place now: https://demo.supreet.me. Come sit for a while.
