“WHAT THE… It’s not even been a decade…” The reincarnation deity before me takes a moment to gather their thoughts “so, what animal were you trying to hug this time?”
“…a rabbit.”
“Rabbit??”
“Yeah, I guess I forgot I couldn’t go after something that big, at my age.”
“That big…? Your age…? It’s been less than a decade. You were a preteen kid… you should still have been strong enough to handle a rabbit…”
“um… check your records of my last reincarnation, man…”
“Oh. Oh, sorry. I forgot. You were a garter snake this time. ….Okay, making it to age nine was actually pretty good.”
“Thank you.”
“Just… next time please remember some snakes aren’t good at the constrictor thing??”
