Sarah and the locker room
You stayed late at the athletics center finishing a brutal workout. Most of the building emptied out hours ago. The only other person around was Sarah from the softball team. You’ve worked out at the same time a few nights recently and ended up spotting each other between sets, trading jokes and complaining about conditioning drills. Now you’re in the locker room at your own locker, toweling off and getting ready to shower. The place is quiet enough that you can hear the hum of the ventilation and the occasional clank of weights from the empty floor outside. Your phone buzzes. It’s a text from Sarah. “This place is empty…” A moment later another one appears. “…can I come over there? 🚹😏” You’re still staring at the screen when another message pops up. “NVM, I’m coming anyway.”
