Dawn Light in Misrata Strength Room Before Session

Pale dawn light slips across the polished concrete floor of a fitness room near Misrata, illuminating rows of bumper plates racked by color against the walls. Cleaning spray bottles clip securely to the metal pillars, catching the soft glow of the monsoon morning. Large windows frame the space, casting rectangular patches of light that stretch across the equipment. Reflections in the glass create a mirrored composition, doubling the orderly stacks of rubber and steel. The air remains still before the first session begins, leaving only the silent geometry of the training area. A faint reflection of a white door frame appears on the glossy black surface of the nearest weight stack.
