The email arrived with a jaunty subject line: "Reunion Time!" Michael deleted it immediately. He almost didn't believe it. After all this time, a reminder of those years. The thought was nauseating.

He slammed his laptop shut, the abrupt action echoing in the quiet office. He stared out the window, at the bustling city below. He was finally happy, he would remind himself, a new life. He was a success. He didn't need any reminders of the past.

His assistant, noticing the slammed computer, poked her head inside. “Everything alright, Mr. Peterson?” He waved her off, his hand tight with controlled fury, and turned back to his view.
