The Debt of Motion

Summary

My wife’s college buddy has a sports system, and it’s bound to me.

As long as I lie still, he can keep moving forever. All his fatigue? It transfers directly to me.

So, my wife ties me to the bed while he runs a marathon… and wins.

She even drugs me with sleeping pills, so he can finish a two-mile swim without breaking a sweat.

My body is falling apart, while he's raking in prize money and accolades.

And my wife? She just sneers at me. "Look at Ryan," she'll say. "He's built like a rock. And you? You're so useless, your muscles are turning to mush."

I stay still, he keeps moving?
