It's 3:44 AM. This is the darkest part of night. The sleep is always deeper, the silence is always thicker.
The room is oblong, walls an insignificant shade of pale, furniture unobtrusive. In the bed sleeps a teenage boy, old enough to almost be called a man. He is not dreaming.
The sheets are rumpled, like someone had gotten up and left in a hurry. There are clothes lying on the floor, looking lonely and discarded.
The boy turns over in his sleep. His hand peeks out from under the covers. The boy is thin, with almost no build, a narrow face, and slender hands. He heaves a sigh as if to shoo us away, and it hangs in the air like a question mark.
The only movement is the slow rise and fall of his chest. Aside from that, the room is completely still.
The degree of silence drops. Somewhere in his dreamless sleep, the boy is smiling.
