‘Zebras’ stripes are like fingerprints. Every one is different.’
She loved animals, especially zebras. I loved listening to her talk.
We were lounging on the deck, the lines of shade from the banister settling across our backs.
After a while she said, ‘I gotta go.’
She stretched her long limbs and stood, shaking a mane of dark hair behind her.
When she walked away I saw what the afternoon of sun had done. The back of her legs and her bare shoulders were a criss-cross pattern of dark and light, unique and never to be repeated again.
