Marvin glanced at his profile as he walked into the gym for his Pilates class. He flinched because he was more the little teapot, short and stout, than the gladiator he saw in his imagination. Today, he chose to avoid the plank walk because of the scabs on his forearms from when he dove on the rubber mat. He now wears a velvet tracksuit to protect his vulnerable exposed parts.
Written for Can You Tell a Story In… # 299 from Esther Chilton. The word count today is 70 words, and the prompts are scab, plank, dove, gladiator, teapot, Pilates, and velvet.
