This is a different kind of nemesis than those I’ve spoken of before, who usually have great bodies, big boobs and blonde hair. This woman has been going to the gym at least since I started there over 2 years ago. She’s definately bigger than me; I’m assuming it’s all muscle, but I would never know because she wears these massive sweat shirts all the time.

Initially, I’d see her only in passing. I’d be coming in as she was going out. A few months ago, she started working out later. There were a few times where she’d be near a bench on a busy day, and I ask her if anyone was using it. She responded with a stare that would make Satan turn red in the face. I have since been deathly afraid of her. I’ve still yet to hear her voice.

One of the guys at the gym with whom I am friendly has been trying to get to me to join a martial arts class. I hate pretty much anything about martial arts. I’d rather go to a Star Trek convention than sit in a room with adults who do martial arts. The Trekies would be cooler. So, I’ve been declining his requests. Primarily though, the reason I refuse to take this particular class, is because Satan Woman is in it. With my luck, I’d get paired with her, and end up dead.

I’m pretty sure she has a thing for the martial arts guy, and doesn’t appreciate him speaking to me. That’s the only conceivable reason I can find for her hating me so much.

The other day, things just got creepy. We were at the gym at the same time, and were leaving around the same time. I was in the changeroom washing my hands. The sinks are perpendicular to the showers, so when I look up into the mirror, I can see the row of showers off to the side. When I looked up, Satan Woman had her head poked out of the shower stall and was giving me her look of death.

Now I think I might have to take some form of martial arts to defend myself. Or maybe get some pepper spray to scratch out those devil eyes.
