Re-Member

In a room full of strangers, everyone seemed eerily familiar. At some point, I’d seen these faces before. I even recognized the tenor of their voices. Nothing about this meeting seemed novel; just one extended deja vu. Even he, the gray-haired gentleman in the corner, reminded me of someone from days long past. From what I could recall, we worked in the temple together. He was my teacher; a grandmaster in the art of alchemy.
