The captain has demanded that the entire crew join his fitness club. It consists of doing yoga, Pilates, and various other awkward exercises. He believes one of the key things to being a good crew is that everyone be in tip top shape. Unfortunately the captain only watches as we all attempt to do this routine and laughs as some of us fail while other succeed. These exercises are supposed to help make our mind and body function as one and become a lethal killing machine while looking elegant and graceful. While I appreciate the Captain’s interest, I can not help but speculate that there is some other reason he has for making us do the routines while he watches. He will smile and wave at some of us with a wink which quite frankly creeps the living daylights out of most of us. But he is our captain so we must abide by his commands regardless of how much we question his motifs. The current state of the crew is that there are all shapes and sizes and we each have our own unique ways of making it to the end of the routines. Some of us fake an injury and others just pretend to pass out, either way we are able to get out of this duty and return to our rooms where we are able to forget the looming looks that linger in our minds of the captain’s glances. This unique and creepy bond we all share is what keeps us together and functioning as a group.
That sounds hard, I've never tried yoga but I can't imagine that it would be easy, especially for men!
ReplyDeleteUm, I really need to be doing these workouts. You will be in really awesome shape at the same time that you are bonding, right? I used to tumble 3=4 times a week in high school and had to be in great shape for that. Needless to say, tumbling is not on my schedule these days and I wonder if I shouldn't look up these Captain workouts!
