Awaken and rejoice

I awaken to the sound of countless singing birds, the air smells sweeter than it ever has before. My eyes take a second to come into focus, once they do I'm greeted by the most beautiful orange sky I've ever seen. The sun is rising on a new day, and somehow I'm alive to see it.

I grumble as I sit up and look around confused, I'm perturbed to see I'm on the roof of the gym. I look over and see the pole that used to have a satellite dish on it, now it's just a blackened stump. I stare at it for almost a minute before my memory of what happened returns.

Lightning...

My heart starts beating faster and faster as I begin to realize how truly close to **** I came. I look down now trying to take stock, I surly must have been injured severely. I'm shocked to see that with one exception I'm perfectly fine. That exception is a rectangle hole in my shirt that reveals the scorched skin underneath. I amazed as I touch the burned skinned, for some reason it doesn't hurt in the least, it almost looks like it has healed itself into a perfect scar. I shake my head supremely confused. I should call an ambulance anyway, who knows if I have some kind of internal damage.

I reach for my phone only to find an empty pocket, I quickly remember I had it in my shirt. Well that definitely explains the burn, that phone might have saved my life. I look around me and sure enough just a few feet away the phone sits face down. I crawl over an pick it up, I know it can't possibly work but I'll definitely keep it for good luck.

I'm absolutely flabbergasted as I turn the phone over, the screen is glowing! It's a sickly pale green with a triangle in the center, in the middle of the triangle is a rainbow colored eye. Just below that is a percentage bar that reads 76%. What the hell is this? Some kind of update? Or is it just a strange glitch caused by the jolt of electricity? Regardless I put the phone in my pocket, it feels so warm on my thigh.

I slowly heave myself off the ground, I stumble only a little before catching myself. I'm shocked to feel the constant ache in my knees is temporary alleviated, as is the pain in my right arm. I broke it a few times when I was young and now any time cold weather or a storm moves in it throbs like you wouldn't believe. Honestly though my arm feels great, as does the rest of my body. Huh, what the hell?

I take a few calming breaths, they feel all the better now that I'm not in pain. Is my body just in shock? Is the adrenaline of my shocking wake up just making me feel better for the moment? I have no clue but why complain! I'm alive, I feel good, and it's a beautiful morning, I'm the luckiest man on the planet!

I chuckle to myself as I slowly descend the latter, normally I would have to take a break halfway through but not on this glorious day. I feel so good I even skip the last few rungs and allow myself to drop to the ground, I make a solid landing and laugh more as I start walking with such enthusiasm it's almost absurd. Maybe I don't need to be checked out after all, I've never felt better!

As I get to my all white work van I feel almost giddy. I hop in the front, the soft feeling of my driver's seat sends a shiver down my spine. It's like I'm more sensitive to everything, even just the relief of sitting down like this is almost overwhelming. A tent begins growing in my pants almost immediately. I begin rubbing it as I contemplate how long it's been since I've cum. Months to be sure, ever since my wife passed I really haven't indulged this part of myself much at all.

As my cock flexes and my already sweaty brow gets even more so I know today is different. I have a new lease on life, and it seems my body feels the same. I shamelessly groan as I reach into my pants and begin fondling myself. I seriously feel like a teenager, just one simple pump is enough to make my toes curl. I lean forward against the steering wheel as I go at myself like this for a few minutes.

*Bing!*

I pop my head up and reach for my pocket, but before I can even pull out my phone I stop dead in my tracks. The front door of the gym swings open and Jane comes walking out wearing her signature black sports bra and black leggings. I pull my hand out of my pants with unbelievable speed and begin wiggling around trying to hide the rock hard cock in my waistband. Luckily Jane doesn't look my way until right after I get situated. Much to my chagrin the second we make eye contact she makes a B line for my van.

"Damnit Bob were you sleeping in your van again!?!"

Some days when I work more than twelve hours I sleep in a little bed in the back of my van, not because I want to but because I have so much to do and going home would eat up too much time.

"Y... Yeah... I uh..."

"Whatever I don't want to hear it... Gah you seriously look like hell, get yourself together and get inside, Hannah needs to have a word with you."

I give a huff "Yeah... Sure..."

I don't know why I'm not telling her what happened, I guess it's just easier not to. Hell would she even believe me? She would just think I'm being lazy and want time off or something. Jane hops in her SUV and is off with a screech of her tires. I already know where she is headed, to get the princess a latte like every morning.

I take a few minutes to get myself together, I grab a new shirt, fix my hair, and put on some deodorant. In that time I take deep breaths and slowly calm down my aching cock, I wish I had the time to rub one out but Jane will be back soon and that last thing I need is her catching me jerking off in my van. Once I'm adequately put together I take one last deep breath and hop out into the cool morning air. I still feel amazed at how good my knees feel as I walk into the gym, you never realize how bad the pain was until it's gone I guess.

I look at the place with new eyes as I walk through it, I genuinely detest this place. How many months, how many years have I wasted toiling away in here I wonder? As I get to the back I can see the lights are off in Hannah's office. Huh, I guess she's actually working out, I have a feeling I know where. I briskly walk to the boxing section and sure enough there she is...

"Guh! Why don't you take a picture Bob it will last longer... Jesus."

I stammer "No I... I wasn't staring I just... Um... Jane said you wanted to speak to me?"

She crosses her arms "Uh yes I do... Why aren't the treadmill TV's working yet? I know Jane told you to do it last night, what the hell Bob?"

I scratch my head nervously "Oh well um I did go up there but the dish is no longer there... I think it was struck by lightning..."

She shakes her head "Just great... So I assume you already called to order a new one right?"

"Oh well... Um... Not yet I just..."

"Just what!?! Just didn't feel like doing your job!?!"

I feel my anger boiling "I'll do it right away ma'am..."

She rolls her eyes "Seriously Bob you need to actually work, I don't care what contract you signed I'll fire you without a second thought if you keep this up."

I feel my heart beating out of my chest as I make a decision "I don't work? Seriously!?! I do more in a day than you have in the past month!... You know what? I wish you would fire me but you know same as I do that this place would fall apart without me... Well since you don't have the balls too I guess like everything else I'll take care of it for you... I QUIT! Consider today as the first day of my two week notice, I'm done Hannah, with you, with your wife, and with this damn place... I'll have the formal papers to you by the end of the day... Now excuse me I have actual work to do!"

The look of utter shock on her face will forever be etched into my memory, it's down right delicious. I've never spoken to her that way and the adrenaline I feel from finally doing so has me buzzing hard. As I confidently walk away her shock turns to anger, her cute little face scrunches up and I could swear I hear her stomp her foot like a little kid as I walk away.

I'm almost giddy as I open the janitors closet to get the mop bucket out, I can't believe I just did that! I'm free! Gah I should have done that a long time ago, I have plenty of money I don't need this place. I wheel my bucket to the treadmill area and begin mopping with more energy than ever before, I feel like I'm floating on a cloud. After about ten minutes I hear the front door of the gym open again, Jane is back. I push the mop to another area so I can get a good view of the show.

The second Jane sets the coffee down I can already see Hannah begin speaking to her in hushed but angry tones, her sour face making it very evident they are talking about me. The sourness spreads as Jane takes in whatever embellished version of what I said to her wife, though her sour face is much more intimidating. I smile to myself as they both hurry up the stairs to Hannah's office. I can only imagine how much yelling and panicking will go down in there. They have no clue how to run this place without me, and after the rage subsides that fact will surly sink in. God what I wouldn't give to hear what's going on up there.

*Bing!*

The noise catches me off guard, I completely forgot about my phone! I pull it out quickly, to my surprise it has an all new home dashboard. The background is that same pale green and there are countless symbols on the screen each representing some kind of app I guess. I try to tap a few but they all say "LOCKED" when I do. This is the strangest thing I've ever seen, what the hell is this?

Finally I find an app that actually opens for me, the symbol is three squiggly lines with little arrows in the end. The first page it opens to has two little profile picks to choose from. To my utter confusion the pictures are of Jane and Hannah. Ok now this is getting really weird. Out of curiosity I tap Jane's face, it brings me to another menu with all kinds of buttons. I choose the big one in the middle that looks like a speaker and give it a tap.

As Jane's voice starts blaring from my phone I come to a startling realization... My phone is somehow letting me hear what is going on in the office at this very moment!

What the hell is going on!?!
