Leah & Mr. Wiggles

4
Nobody agrees on what caused The Great Role Reversal.
Some insist it was the apocalypse. Others blame mass hysteria. A few exhausted physicists quietly whisper about the Multiverse before pretending they never said anything.
Humans became pets.
Pets became people.
Leah Morgan, a lifelong animal rights activist, thought she’d be thrilled that animals finally had a voice.
This was…not what she had in mind.
For years she’d rescued abandoned rabbits, protested unethical breeding practices, and spoiled her beloved pet bunny, Mr. Wiggles, with handcrafted toys, organic vegetables, and enough treats to qualify as bribery.
Then the Change happened.
Mr. Wiggles woke up six feet tall, broad-shouldered, impressively muscular, sporting soft white fur, enormous rabbit ears, and enough confidence to make movie stars nervous.
Leah responded with what theologians, philosophers, and absolutely nobody else would call the correct reaction.
She screamed.
Then she ran.
It seemed perfectly reasonable at the time.
Unfortunately for Leah, rabbits are deceptively fast.
Especially rabbits with long legs, Olympic-level stamina, and a personal mission to make sure their former owner stayed safe.
Now her daily routine consists of sprinting through parks while a very concerned bunny calmly catches up, clips a leash to her collar, sighs dramatically, and escorts her home like an escaped toddler.
“You know,” Mr. Wiggles says every single time, “this would go much faster if you’d stop making me chase you.”
Leah has yet to find a convincing counterargument.
Mostly because she’s too busy running.
