The Last Biscuit in the Tin
The Last Biscuit in the Tin There are rules in the therapy room, though not all of them are written down. Some are obvious. No shouting. No throwing things. No helping yourself to another person’s trauma as if it is a shared dip. No saying, “At least” to someone whose life has just fallen through the floor.

LHS Class of 01 Reunion '21
Later, as the night deepened and the lights dimmed to a warm amber glow, Peter found himself seated at a round table with Maya, who had once been his lab partner in chemistry. Their conversation drifted from the trivial to the profound, punctuated by the soft whoosh of their masks as they inhaled and exhaled. “Do you ever wonder how different things would have been if we hadn’t had to wear masks?” Maya asked, her voice tinged with melancholy. Peter considered the question, his gaze lingering on the faint reflection of the chandelier in his mask’s surface. “Maybe,” he replied, “but perhaps the masks forced us to listen more, to see past the smiles and focus on the words.” Their exchange was a quiet testament to how a simple piece of protective equipment could cultivate deeper empathy among old friends.

LHS Class of 01 Reunion '21
The gymnasium of Lincoln High had been transformed overnight into a glittering ballroom of nostalgia, its faded banners swapped for string lights and a makeshift DJ booth that hummed beneath a ceiling of suspended lanterns. Peter and Scott arrived together, each wearing a sleek, dark‑tinted protective mask that clung snugly to the contours of their faces, the little vents whispering faintly as they breathed. The masks, a relic of the recent pandemic and a newfound habit of personal safety, reflected the soft colors of the décor, turning their expressions into a subtle, futuristic masquerade. As they stepped onto the polished floor, the familiar scent of cheap gym floor wax mingled with the sweet perfume of fresh flowers, and the low murmur of old classmates—now scattered across careers and continents—began to swell into a chorus of eager greetings.
