Zane felt dead. Sadie had been working him like a dog for three days straight. His legs burned, arms felt like Jell-O and his torso felt like Lead bricks were squashing him. He didn't want to move a single fiber of his body, it simply hurt too much.
"Come on Zane, just one more time up the stairs." Sadie said looking down at Zane as she stood above him with a cheery expression.
Zane was star-fished out at the foot of the stairs as he lay on the cool concrete floor of the powerhouse building. The stairs had now become the object that he loathed. He looked up at the cheery lady above him. Her brown single braid dangled over her right shoulder and pleasant smile was on her face, all this was a lie!
"She's the devil in disguise." Zane grumbled in his thoughts. "I won't let her charm fool me. She is slowly trying to kill me. I think I would rather get stabbed by Dilly again."
"Come on Zane. I know you can do it!" Sadie continued prodding.
