The Chair
Words 93
“That’s my chair.”
“It’s time you passed on the baton.”
“There is nobody capable enough.”
“It’s our job to groom them. Make them able.”
“If I leave, the whole system will collapse.”
“Don’t kid yourself. Nobody is indispensable.”
“Nobody has as much experience as I do.”
“A new person will bring in fresh ideas, perspectives and vision.”
“That should be applicable for your chair as well.”
“How dare you!”
“The Minister’s new son-in-law is a good friend of my son.”
“I will see what can be done about creating another chair for you.”

You nailed it, Dahlia. In a humorous way, you demonstrated the strength of the power structure and how it’s perpetuated over time. Although the story was light and enjoyable, it held a darker story. Well done.
