Astounded, Mike watched Ollie move objects that were three times his weight—and then some.
Spurred by envy and determination, Mike hit the gym six times a week.
Ollie never hit the gym.
Mike hired a personal trainer.
Ollie didn’t need a trainer.
Mike spent a year building his body, cranking up his stamina. Yet, Ollie remained untouchable.
Beyond human capacity, Ollie advanced lifting eight, nine, ten times his weight. It became a national event with packed audiences. Witnessing these feats, the media implored Ollie to share his secret.
“There’s no secret,” said Ollie. “I’m an ant. It’s what we do.”
Nice story, Helen! Thanks for letting us read it.
Scott
Nice story. As I read it the thought occurred to me that the reader would encounter that last sentence.
Great ending! I didn’t see it coming.
Well done.
Great story Helen!
Nice! I had a sneaking suspicion this powerhouse might be an ant!
Absolutely loved the twist in perspective
Really liked it!
Good twist at the end
