My coworkers have long known I’m into fitness, and I’ve noticed them giving me resentful looks when I come in to work and eat healthy. ย Finally, my manager calls me into his office. ย “Kent, you’re making the others uncomfortable. ย You’re too creative, you don’t eat doughnuts like the rest of us, and you don’t binge-watch stuff in your off time. ย Sorry it had to be like this.” ย I’m like, “Wait, what?” ย Suddenly office-workers pile onto me. ย One of them rolls up my arm, and my manager approaches me with a syringe labeled, “DAD-BOD.” ย He injects it into me and I scream. ย My hair’s falls out, my muscle tone withers, I feel the wearying press of PTA meetings stealing my sanity….NO. ย Open my eReader. ย Magic flash. ย Another syringe appears in my left hand. ย This one is labeled, “THE MEATIES.” ย I jam it into my thigh, and my body ripples as it grows a solid sheath of muscle. ย I crash out the window and begin galloping down the side of a high-rise on all fours, my knuckles leaving spider-web cracks in the building facade.
Ditch the dad-bod. ย Gallop down the side of a building like a Man-imal. ย Get Echo Vol. 1 on Kindle here: ย Vol. 1 on Kindle. ย Vol. 2 on Kindle here: ย Vol.2 on Kindle.
