We sat there, tears falling from our eyes. We, being me and my sister Friday.We were sixteen año old triplets but our brother had left for boarding school, three weeks ago. We all had black hair. Friday's short and straight, Mitch's cropped and spikey, mine long and wavy. Friday's red face contrasted so much with her hair and I was sure that I looked almost exactly the same. Izzy the oldest of our younger siblings, age thirteen, just sat. Kate and Sammi, age eight, were twins. Kate rolled around restlessly and Sammi gripped her doll so tight that it almost seemed that it's one eye was popping out. Erik, our baby brother, nine months, was sleeping peacefully between Kate and Sammi, but only because he didn't know what was going on. Our parents had died earlier that night. What had happened was that we had been coming back from the movies, driving through the bushy area near our mansion house and we had been run off the road por a lunatic drunk. The crash had been loud. So loud tu could barely hear yourself think. This didn't change anything because the only thing that tu would have been thinking was"AHHHHHHH"... soooooooo...yeah. Mind you, god never closes a door without opening a window… so tu can climb out. The window, we were mostly unharmed but I had been unconscious until Friday shook me awake. We unbuckled everyone else and clambered out of the car. I checked over everyone to see if they were alright and then look up at Friday. Tears had been rolling down her face and it had been that moment which I realized that our parents were dead. As I watched, a tear hit the picture frame that Friday was holding. más and más came until they were gushing out of her eyes. I pulled her into a hug and soon Izzy was crying. I pulled her onto my lap and we sat there, Friday, Izzy and me, huddled and crying until we all fell asleep.
I woke up half way through the night, from a dream that had involved an unhealthy amount of snakes, and saw without that the cat had come in and was now asleep on parte superior, arriba of Erik. Carefully I eased out from under Izzy's tired form and crept over to the cama where Kate, Sammi and Erik had all fallen asleep. I lifted the cat off him and left the room as quietly as possible. I creaked down two flights of stairs into the cocina where the light was still on. I stood there for a while unsure of what to do next. I looked around, the energy saving light-bulb illuminating the well designed kitchen. I looked at the wooden bench tops and carved cupboard doors to the fridge. I moved slowly adelante, hacia adelante and pulled at the door. I investigated the comida situation. There was a tupperware box containing some unknown substance, but i'd decided to steer clear of unknown substances since The incident of two thousand and nine. As I was easing the door closed with limonada in one hand and an manzana, apple in the other I heard a voice from behind me.
"Hi Max." Friday's voice was dry from crying and her face was red and blotchy.
"Hey," I said, "How are tu doing?"
"Okay-ish, you?"
"I don’t know," I replied. in truth I was incredibly sad but I couldn't bring it up again. it was painful. Too painful to talk about.. I sighed and looked over at her. She had been thinking about it again and I could tell por the fact the she had tears rolling down her face. I put down my refreshments and walked over to her. I hugged her as tightly as I could.
"What do we do now," Friday asked, her voice muffled, "we can hardly stay here." I pulled away from her.
"I guess," I started, "I guess we call Mitch."

This is written about the perfect silence only found in the dead of night, and the feelings it inspires.
The título comes from the descripción a friend of mine gave when we were stuck in the middle of nowhere at midnight and I found it sort of beautiful.
Enjoy (I hope) :)
Weighted air and winking stars,
darkness draped, tension wrought.
This night, this hour, is ours.
Silence chimes unspoken thoughts
that choke my mouth.
Silver moonbeams in glittering outline
surround you, and in our youth
this night, this hour, we intertwine.
I'd amor to hear what tu like o hate.
Thanks for reading.

First off, to those of tu that know me, I haven't publicado at all in awhile, I'm aware my "Nightfall" series hasn't been updated for those of tu that liked it, but since school started back, I have had hardly any time to write anything. I WILL get back to posting on "Nightfall" if anything else for the sake of completion. But I also discovered the marvolous "Fallout" series a few months back, and decided to try to make a novel out of it. For those of tu not familiar with the series, "Fallout" is a series of games set in a post-apocyloptic future, and finds a custom made protagonist made customly por the player dealing with life in the now wastelandic USA. My story is loosely based off "Fallout 3" but with major differences along the way, so the story is original in that aspect. If tu guys will read the story, I will make it as adaptable as I can for those who are not familiar with it. Please leave comments, so I know whether o not I should post it. Thank you. -AdamK
