One-Minute Zebra #WeeklyShortShortNote

"Your previous life was a zebra."

"A zebra?"

Since a first-class past-life appraiser said so, it must be true. I never imagined my previous life wasn't human.

I was handed a VR headset with the words, "Please, take this."

"What is this?"

"If you put on these goggles, you can relive your past-life memories for exactly one minute."

Has it already become that kind of era? As expected of a first-class past-life appraiser.

When I put on the goggles, a vibrant grassland spread out before my eyes. I, as a zebra, was running at full speed. No, I was running for my life.

I felt as if my rear had been bitten. Even though that shouldn't be possible, I remembered the pain. The one sinking its fangs into my flesh was a leopard. Its sparkling eyes, its body tracing elegant curves. My memory of my previous life ended there.

I knew those eyes.

She is a colleague at work and my natural enemy. A beautiful woman with large, round eyes and soft, wavy hair.

Her previous life was undoubtedly that leopard.

After all, for some reason, she always treats me like an enemy and bites at my words.

A short-short story after a long time.
I had fun writing it.
