Dark gym

I usually get to the gym right when they open. This morning I still did, and the lights were off.

Mostly off. Every fifth light was on, as it is overnight, but nothing else.

Opening time came and went. The lights remained dim. I recognized an employee letting herself in. A few of us headed over and we realized the power was simply out. We were down to backups: the security lights and ventilation. They let us in anyway. We couldn't scan our cards to sign in, they just took our names at the door. We worked out in mood lighting.

The water heaters were electric, so when I went to shower off afterward, I was both surprised and fully awake.
