"The Second Achilles Heel"

by T. Trolley

It all started with a simple arm wrestling match at a picnic table -- Teresa vs. Janet. Both of the women were in their early 30s and very attractive. Teresa had been in several arm wrestling matches before and, from my perspective -- even though I thought she had a good chance of winning against most women -- it looked to me like she would have problems with Janet. Janet weighed less than Teresa but was in great shape -- better shape than Teresa. Neither of their arms were well toned, but I thought Janet just might beat Teresa.

The two began to arm wrestle at my signal. Teresa gave it all she had, her face straining as she slowly bowed her head, trying to muster all the strength she had! But to my amazement, a determined Janet slowly forced down the arm of the heavier Teresa in a tremendous display of pure strength -- which was a humiliating experience for Teresa since Janet weighed 20 some pounds less than her.

"Wow!" I said as Teresa rubbed her sore right forearm after Janet took her down. Teresa, looking at her arm as she rubbed it, said, "Well, arm wrestling was always my Achilles heel. My forearms aren't very strong and that's what makes or breaks you in arm wrestling. But I'm strong everywhere else."

Janet, feeling like Teresa was trying to minimize and rob her a total victory that she thought proved she was once and for all stronger than Teresa, put her hands on her hips, stood up and looked down at the still seated Teresa, asking, "You think so? I'd be willing to try you out on that! You pick the challenge and I'll take you on in it!"

Teresa slowly stood up, put her hands on her hips, got right into Janet's face, and exclaimed, "Well, if we had a streetfight, right here and right now, you'd find out who was the strongest!"

Janet responded, "You're right! We'd find out! And we all know it wouldn't be you!"

I spoke up, "Is that a challenge?" The two women looked over at me, then glared at each other. Teresa's eyes narrowed as she looked at Janet and said, "You want to do it? Let's do it!"

Janet smiled and said, "Fine with me! Right here, right now!"

The two slowly walked toward a grassy part of the park we were picnicking in. Janet wore a white top and blue denim shorts and white tennis shoes while Teresa wore a white harness top, red hot pants and white tennis shoes.

Just as I did for the arm wrestling match, I told them to begin the fight!

Teresa suddenly grabbed Janet's black shoulder length hair with one hand and delivered two successive punches to her stomach with the other! "Oooo!" exclaimed the crowd as they saw Teresa's seemingly hard, strong punches zip into Janet's midsection!

Fortunately for Janet, though,she was able to quickly slip from Teresa's grasp, avoiding any further damage.

After freeing herself, Janet swiftly retaliated, grabbing Teresa by her shoulder length hair with both hands, and pulled her head from side to side! Luckily for Teresa, she was able to escape!

By now, it was clear to both women that they were in a do-or-die catfight that neither could afford to lose!

Teresa tried to grab Janet by the hair again but the beautiful hispanic woman managed to block the attempt and suddenly connected with an effective kick to Teresa's left leg! Teresa yelped in pain, her left leg obviously injured by Janet's swift kick to her shin!

Teresa, attempting to retaliate, tries a punch to Janet's left breast but the powerful kick to her shin has put her off balance and Janet was able to evade the blow!

Janet, realizing Teresa's leg is hurt, tries to weaken it even more with another kick! But Teresa, now eager to protect her injured leg and wanting to keep it from harm at all costs, quickly thwarted the offensive by moving her leg and delivered an effective punch to the stomach of her better conditioned opponent! But Janet's stomach is surprisingly hard and she is barely affected by the blow!

Janet attempts another kick to Teresa left leg but again, Teresa was able to keep her hurt shin away from harm and hit Janet in the left breast, but because she was still off balance due to her desire to keep her feet moving to keep from being kicked in the left shin again, the punch didn't have much steam on it and Janet is barely affected!

Janet tries to kick Teresa in the shin again. This time, because Teresa was off balance in her attempt to throw a punch, Janet connected with with an effective kick to the hurt left leg of her shorter opponent! Teresa yelps in pain again and her leg is obviously weakened even more by the kick! Teresa, now noticeably hobbling on that hurt lef of hers, tries to punch Janet in the stomach but Janet, sensing a quick victory, lands another hard kick once again to that same place on Teresa's shin, causing her to yelp in pain and hobble around even more to the point that she actually is grabbing at the shin to rub it!

But Teresa realizes she has to keep her advancing adversary off of her so she tries to punch her in the left breast again, but the lunging attempt is easily sidestepped by the cute Hispanic woman and she lands yet another hard kick to Teresa's shin! "Oh!" yelped Teresa, trying to twist away from the attack on impact! Teresa lands a punch to Janet's right breast, but the blow has little effect on Janet as she is really flowing in adrenaline now!

Janet tries another kick to Teresa's weakened leg, but Teresa is able to turn away and avoid the blow. Teresa then tries to catch Janet in a headlock in an attempt to stop the incessant attack on her leg, but Janet hits Teresa in the kidney with a fist and gets away!

Janet, looking to finish Teresa off with a flourish, goes for a choke hold from behind in an effort to take her to the floor and end it, but Teresa knows how to fight off that kind of move due to her experience as a streetfighter in her younger years and thwarts her rival's attempt. Teresa then moves behind her opponent, and puts her in a half nelson, forcing her arm back, while pushing her head forward!

This was another move Teresa had used in her streetfighting days, but she actually learned it while watching her high school's boys wrestling team as one of their cheerleaders!

Finally it looked like Teresa found something that was working for her as Janet was having trouble getting out of it! The lighter Janet Muniz twisted and pulled violently, but she was unable to get free! But suddenly Janet reverted to her tried and true attac, landing a reverse kick to her opponent's shin! Teresa let out a whoop of pain, her head shooting back on impact as she quickly released the hold and couldn't help but grab her injured leg! Teresa certainly wasn't expecting that kick as she was working hard on that half nelson, so when it came, the kick hurt even worse as it was unexpected and landed hard in the tender area of Teresa's shin!

Janet tried to follow up with another kick, but Teresa backed away to avoid the attack. But then Teresa caught Janet in another half nelson, hurting Janet once again! But once again, Janet landed that reverse kick to Teresa's shin! Teresa had found something that was working, but she had yet to find how to defend against Janet's reverse kick so she was getting the worst of it, even though the half nelson was working well!

Janet follows up with yet another kick to Teresa's tender left shin, evoking another yelp of agony from Teresa! Teresa's boyfriend ducked his head and shook it, realizing that it was just a matter of time before Janet finished his girlfriend off as Teresa was seemingly helpless to defend against Janet's assault on her injured leg!

Teresa again tries to put Janet in a headlock as she was noticeably limping around, but Janet avoided the hold and tried to get behind the weakened Teresa to apply a choke hold, but Teresa blocks if and for some reason attempts a half nelson, but the better conditioned Janet Muniz anticipates the move and stays clear of the attack.

The hard and fit Janet goes back to the tried and true, hoping to make Teresa collapse as she attempts a kick to Teresa's tender left leg. But Teresa was able to evade the blow and goes for the only thing that has somewhat worked for her in the fight, the half nelson, but the same-aged Janet manages to block the attempt and proficiently delivers an effective kick to the left leg of her heavier opponent!

Teresa lets out yet another yelp of pain as the crowd let out an "Ooooo!" as they all realized how much that crisp kick must have hurt Teresa! Janet kept working on that leg of Teresa, not only hurting her but also keeping her off balance and unable to deliver any telling blows of her own as once again her bunch to Janet's left breast was effective, but yet barely affected Janet's attack!

Janet again tried to take Teresa down to the floor and finish her with a choke hold, but Teresa was tough and thwarted the attempt! Janet blocks a weak punch by Teresa and once again landed a painful kick to Teresa's weakened shin!

Everyone there, including Janet, realized that, sooner or later that leg will give way if Teresa doesn't do something to stop Janet's attack!

The desperate Teresa successfully delivers an effective punch to the left breast of her lighter opponent, but once again the hard and fit Janet Muniz is barely affected! Nothing is working for Teresa, except a couple of half nelson attempts that Janet was now wise to!

Teresa was able to avoid another kick by Janet, but the mere attempt was throwing Teresa severely off her game as now she was forced to defend the injured limb and couldn't mount the kind of offense she wanted because of the need to defend her hurt leg and also her inability to dig her feet into the ground and gain the kind of traction she needed for her punches to be effective!

Janet then blocked the slowed Teresa's attempt at a half nelson! Now not even that was working for Teresa! Janet at this point was indeed winning the fight, to Teresa's alarm and her fans' distress!

Then out of nowhere, Teresa successfully connected with an effective uppercut to the midsection of her taller opponent! The hard and fit Janet Muniz groaned and doubled over, grabbing her belly for a second as she was caught off guard! Janet is hurt! But Janet is now angry with Teresa for hurting her and wraps her toned, brown arms around Teresa Bennett's neck, applying a choke hold!

Teresa punches at her antagonist in an attempt to break away from the crushing hold! It wasn't working! The two go down, with Janet still applying the choke! It looked like it was curtains for Teresa! Teresa then tries to push her attacker's arms apart, but Janet Muniz grabs her wrists to restrain her as she pins the former streetfighter while using her forearm to sneak up under Teresa's chin and push down on Teresa's unprotected windpipe, continuing to choke her!

The trapped woman scrambles to move her body into a more favorable position! Somehow, she is able to free one arm, then the other. Then, as Teresa desperately flayed her arms from beneath Janet, luck was on her side as one of Teresa's punches makes contact and she is able to extricate herself!

That was a close call for Teresa, but most felt now that it was only a matter of time before Janet finished the cute former streetfighter off! Teresa's stamina was quickly giving way and she was running out of gas, not to mention that her leg was hurting like a toothache!

Teresa knows she's in trouble now! She is weakening and just barely escaped from Janet's deadly choke hold! Teresa bravely tries another uppercut to Janet's midsection, but Janet knew it was coming, blocked it, and then suddenly wrapped her toned, brown arms around Teresa's neck in a choke hold!

The heavier Teresa -- is unable to loosen and escape from the constricting limbs!

Janet Muniz shouts at her restrained opponent, "Are you ready to give?"

Teresa shrieks in pain, "No!" as the dominating woman only squeezes tighter!

"Give it up!" scolds Janet.

The flexing muscles of Janet's arms continue to exert their crushing force. Teresa gathers all the strength she has left, and makes one last desperate attempt to free herself.

After several attempts to free herself, a frustrated Teresa loses composure and starts wildly scratching and clawing at Janet's arms, in a futile attempt to loosen the grip of the constricting limbs around her neck, but Janet's strength proves too great.

The subdued woman gasps and has a concerned look on her face as she begins to tremble slightly in the hold!

Tears begin to drip down Teresa's face as though they were being squeezed out of her head under pressure. Janet maintains the choking vice on her rival's neck with full intensity.

Teresa finally gasps, "I give, I give."

Janet finally releases the hold! Teresa rolls onto her belly, grabbing her throat! With her leg still hurting, Teresa is slow getting up, allowing Janet to put her feet on Teresa's back and strike a smiling double biceps pose before Teresa even tried getting up, humiliating Teresa even more!

Janet finally took her foot off Teresa, wiped her hands together as one would after finishing a task, and said out loud, "Well, looks like you've got another weak spot -- another Achilles heel. But I guess it's not your heel -- go up a few inches and you'll know what I'm talking about!"
