Recliner

By Kevian Liley

Synopsis:
In "Recliner," we follow the journey of Ryan Thompson, a man who finds himself at a crossroads in life, struggling with financial instability, isolation, and a deep-seated yearning for connection. After purchasing a peculiar recliner at a garage sale, Ryan discovers that it possesses the uncanny ability to manipulate time, enabling him to relive moments and place bets on sports events that yield impressive returns.

As Ryan initially revels in his newfound luck, he gradually becomes entangled in a web of gambling, risking his relationships and mental health for the thrill of winning. The recliner, once a source of comfort, transforms into a symbol of his obsession, leading him down a path of desperation and loneliness.

Amid the chaos, Ryan reconnects with his childhood passion for art, joining forces with local artists and engaging with his community through a series of art workshops. Through these creative outlets, he discovers the importance of vulnerability, shared experiences, and the power of connection to heal past wounds.

However, as temptations from his past resurface and threaten to pull him back into old habits, Ryan must confront the allure of the recliner and the gambling world head-on. He embarks on a journey of self-discovery, finding balance as he learns to embrace creativity and nurture relationships, ultimately redefining his path.

"Recliner" is a poignant exploration of the human experience, examining themes of temptation, redemption, and the transformative power of art and connection. Through Ryan's journey, readers are reminded that true fulfilment lies not in fleeting thrills but in the relationships we forge and the stories we share along the way.
