Swept into the gym

    by: Raghp2 Author IconMail Icon
Josh covered his eyes slightly to block out the sun as he stared up at a huge set of double doors. Staring straight up Josh could see the words "CrossFit" labeled above the door. However, with no time to react, Josh watched as a massive giant man strode over him, his entire body eclipsing Josh's few as he stepped over the wrapper and toward the door. The double doors slid open as Josh held onto the wrapper with a yelp as he found himself being sucked inside to the slightly cooler air conditioned gym. Sliding across the ground as Josh tried to get his bearings, he watched as the massive gym goer continued to walk away from him into the gym. Josh let out a massive sigh of relief as the wrapper settled on the ground, watching as the man disappeared into the men's locker room toward the front of the gym.

"I'll get thrown away if I stay on this thing..." Josh said to himself as he slid off the wrapper and onto the somewhat spongy surface of the foam tiling of the gym's floor. Josh took a deep breath as he looked around the gym, seeing people working out and grunting in the distance. The sounds of feet slamming against the ground and weights being dropped. Josh shuddered to think what going out into the gym floor would do to him. Seeing a nearby wall, Josh decided his best bet for the time being was to hug to wall to avoid being stepped on by any number of gym goers who likely wouldn't watch their step. As Josh expected, he watched as a massive sweaty man walked in his direction. He wore a CrossFit tank top, Josh figured him to be an employee as he saw the ripped man grab the wrapper he was on mere minutes ago and crumble it into his hand. Josh swallowed nervously as the giant turned and walked away, his foot falls slamming like earthquakes as he went toward the front desk and tossed the wrapper away behind the counter.

"At least they keep the place clean..." Josh couldn't help but joke to himself, though his heart was beating a million miles a minute for the moment after that close encounter. Josh pressed himself against the wall as he watched the man who inadvertently gusted him into the gym walked out of the locker room, now changed into a loose tank top and gym shorts. The giant man wore ear buds and was clearly already not paying attention as he got pumped up for his workout.

"Yeah absolutely will not be going out there..." Josh looked out at the gym floor, rationalizing his plan to himself. Josh saw though that if he stuck to the far wall, he could make his way into the locker room. Thinking on it for a moment, Josh thought it might be the safest way to try and contact someone, since a guy might be slightly more likely to spot him there rather during the workout. Josh also looked out at the reception desk, seeing the same giant who grabbed the wrapper now standing behind it.

"I could try getting his attention..." Josh stared at the man from what felt like many miles away. Josh figured it would be riskier, he'd have to cross open floor, basically no man's land for a tiny bug sized person for Josh. But getting the attention of a worker would hopefully be safer than that of a complete stranger. Josh tried to swallow his fears and move his legs as he started to move toward...
