ENJOY GUYS!

Genre - Fantasy (Fairytale) Character - Rugby Player Setting - A Gym Starting - Red is my favorite color

Red is my favorite color, that’s why I like to spend so much time at the SAS Gym where almost all equipment is red. Its the off-season right now and Rugby doesn’t start until August thats why I’m lifting weights and doing cardio workouts almost every day. At first I hated going into the smell gym where people crowd up on machines and make it a pain to concentrate. But as time progressed I started to enjoy myself. Going to the gym and enjoying how every week I manage to lift more that last week is a blast, and a true story. A lot of my friends are in the gym too and yesterday we had a rather funny incident. My friend Michael was bench pressing 60 Kg and by the sixth rep he couldn’t get it up anymore… thing is that nobody was there to spot him seeing as clobbing on 20 Kg on each side of the bar didn’t seem like a lot of weight. So he was lying there trying to get it up with nobody to help when he finally came to the realization of dumping the weight on one side and then recovering. However… he had put on the safety clips on both sides that one normally uses for squatting, the weights wouldn't dump. Mr W noticed the struggling lifter and ran over to get the weight of of his chest. From that moment on Mr W lectured every body about the importance of benching with a spotter to try and avoid incidents such as the one that Michael had.

You might think the story ended there. But Michael had not learnt his lesson. Everytime he went lifting he wanted to seem like a strong, tough guy who didn’t need other peoples help. About a week later he started a harder rep, the first few seemed easy, but that was only because he wasn’t tired yet. But once Michael had gotten to the fourth rep, he was exhausted. He found himself yet again in a similar situation. Being dumb, he did not want to show weakness and give up. So he let the weight rest for a few seconds to catch his breath. then he slowly started lifting it. the first few times his arms were too tired to get the weights on the clips. But on the third try he managed, sadly what he didn’t realize was that this equipment is somewhat malfunctioning. Being unsteady, the weight slides off the rack and falls right on his chest.

He screams in pain and yells for help. But no one came around, just like last time. After a minute of screaming, the tormenting pain finally forced him to stop. He breathes heavily as each breath is like having a knife stabbed in your chest. He felt as if his lungs are bleeding on the inside and that sooner or later, his heart will stop beating. “I don’t want to die now”, Michael thought to himself, “I can’t die now. Rugby season starts in August, I need to be there!” Out of nowhere, a genie appeared out of the rugby ball lucky charm on his bag that lays on the bench next to him.

In a screechy voice, the genie asks “do you need my help Michael? I will grant you three wishes but only three.” Without hesitation Michael requested the genie to release him from the immense pain he is currently suffering. And now with only 2 wishes left Michael asked the Genie to guarantee him a final place for his team in the Rugby championship game in August. The last wish took Michael a while to come up with,
