One of us

Me and my bros would go to the gym a lot, they'd go about 6 days a week for a few hours and I'd go 3 days a week. One day I went and everything changed.

It all happened one day, I finished a long workout like normal and went to the showers to clean up. Suddenly I could smell something, a strong, sour, cheesy stink that covered the whole room.

6 of my bros came in, we'd go all the time, they're the sort of bros that would work out religiously. Milo, Alex, Jack, Alfie, Arthur and Matt all of them 19-22 years old between 5ft 10 and 6ft 2. I thought they came in to shower and change too but I was wrong.

Alfie: That was such a good work out wasn't it bros?

They all agreed, nodding.

Alex: I'm drenched. I feel powerful.

Me: Bro's not gonna lie you reek. I'm gonna let you shower and I'll catch you later.

Something I said made them angry but then they all smiled and stared at me.

Me: What?

They all circled me.

Jack: What's wrong with our smell bro? I think it's good.

Arthur: Why don't you breath in a little more, you'll change your mind.

At that point I get weirded out and go to leave but one of them grabs me, pulling me into a tighter circle. Alex says why would I leave when I could join them and then it got weirder, they all started repeating the words Join us, join us, their voices sounded emotionless as they chanted it. 

I tried to get out but alex grabbed me and lifted his arms up pulling me closer to his pits. I could see hair growing from his sleeves. Their weird thing was, they were all completely shaved.

Me: What the hell guys! Get off me!

Alfie: Don't resist this bro. Eventually you'll be one of us.

They all start chanting one of us as they all lift their arms up. I run for the door but it's locked.

Milo: There's no escape bro. You're one of us, whether you like it or not.

The 6 of them slowly walked towards me chanting, with their arms up. Slowly why start undressing, revealing their ripped, newly hairy bodies.

Me: Where did that hair come from?

I could see it growing as they got closer, not just their chest hair but their pit hair, foot hair and pubic hair.

Matt: This is what happens when you stop resisting bro. Join usss, join uss.

They grab me stuffing my face in their dripping pits, their hair growing over me, I pull away and manage to get the locker room door open but then it gets worse.

Everyone in the gym is now naked, the men, the woman, everyone, now buff, hairy zombies dripping with thick drops of stinky sweat. The smell so strong I start coughing. This catches their attention as they all start slowly coming towards me chanting join us and one of us.

They all started to slowly walk towards me, each footstep creating a small puddle of sweat. Behind me my bros ripped their clothes off, exposing their dripping, ripped and hairy body.

Jack: There's no escape bro. Don't fight us.

Matt: Join usss.

I was backed up in the locker room once more, all of them closing in. I tried to run but one of the zombies grabbed me. They all laughed as I got pulled to the floor, they started drooling before wiggling their toes above my face.

One by one they would all rub in between their toes pulling out thick stinky toe jam and would force feed me their goo. I tried to spit it out but they'd hold my mouth closed until I swallowed that sticky, cheesy goo. 

I managed to wiggle out of their grasp and ran into a cubical quickly locking the door.

They were all outside, pounding on the door. They then started throwing dirty, stinky gym socks chanting at me to smell them.

Suddenly, Alfie grabs my leg from the gap underneath the door, pulling me to the floor and slowly dragging me into the crowd of drooling creatures. Alfie licks his lips as he pulls me towards him.

Alfie: Don't fight us bro. It's time you join uss.

I kick Alfie in the face managing to get back into the cubical. I pry open a window, escaping into the ally outside.

The zombies smash the door down in time to see me escape.

Alex: Don't let him escape.

They all shuffle out of the gym, only stopping to inhale each of their sweaty pit stink.
