The weirdest thing about a high school reunion is the sudden time shift. It’s as though we have all been suddenly immersed into a science fiction movie about time travel.
People you know are instantly many years older than they were just a moment ago. They are the same people that you can swear you were just speaking to, except that years have now gone by, seemingly in an instant.
Children have suddenly been born and have grown up, or someone now has a new husband or wife — and you may learn they have been with that “new” partner for years.
It is certainly an interesting experience to compare notes with your friends about time travel has affected each of you. But it’s not something that you want to do too many times.
Because it turns out that you only get so many rides on the time machine. More tomorrow.
