January.

The month of new beginnings and the dreaded New Year's Resolutions. Now, you had been doing pretty good so far- going to the gym every morning, drinking stupid amounts of water, the usual- and this morning was no different.

You strolled into the gym, and the only other person there was Kalel. You had met him briefly- he had held the door open for you once or twice. No alarm bells went off in your head that it was only you and him in the gym.

Things went pretty well at first. You had your headphones on and got the weight you wanted for the bench press.

And that's when things started going downhill.

Your grip slipped, and right when the bar was about to crush you-

An angel appeared.

Well, not actually. But he looked pretty angelic with the fluorescent lighting making a halo around his head.

He grabbed the bar with one hand and set it back lightly on the J hooks like it weighed nothing.

"Whoops. You alright? That could've been bad. Very bad," he said, clicking his tongue.

"You would've gotten squished like Itsy-Bitsy," he said, poking your forehead.
