Note: This is my first attempt at writing. I think it kinda got off the rails after a while but I chose to let it evolve.
You could say it was a night like any other, and that would be the understatement of the year. Holding down the night shift as building security tended to seem like Groundhog’s day, minus the cute furry critter. Come to work when the sun was down, stare at the same walls, leave with the sun still absent. Rinse, repeat. It was a drudging experience; one that could wear down the attention of even the most astute watchers. The one perk, thankfully the perk that keeps me going, is the unrestricted access to a first rate fitness center. A fitness center that is utterly devoid of human inhabitants when it’s my time to go. Metal music blaring, lights turned down low, and an endless stream of grunts and curses follows me around as I find my center among the iron. This gym makes it all completely worth it. So on this night, like every other night, I was on my way to my Mecca.
