The Sun Worshipper

"I think she would best be described as sinewy. Sinuous?"
"She goes to the gym a lot? Lifts weights?"
"More like she runs a lot and makes a point to eat incredibly right."
"Remind me again who this woman is?"
"Just someone who came into my office today."
"Why?"
"How should I know?"
"Then why do you care?"
"I was just sitting there at my desk when this pair or legs walked by. I swear I could see every muscle in her leg flex and relax as she walked. Tendons were testing the tensile strength of her skin. It was almost grotesque."
"So she stays fit. What's the big deal?"
"Her elbows could cut glass. She had Terminator hands. Her chest looked like flats at the Cape during low tide. I watched he trachea tremble when she swallowed some spit or something. Her cheek bones created shelves under her eyes. If she didn't look so healthy I could have mistaken her for a mummy."
"And here I was, thinking you were telling me about a new office babe."
"Ugh. That woman's skin was like leather. Fine Italian leather, but leather none the less."
