Prompt:
I couldn't have been happier. It was four in the morning and still none of us had slept. We didn't sleep much in those days, then again we probably never slept so much in our lives, it just was never in the proper time of day. When I look back on it all nothing seems clearer than that night. It wasn't life changing, I didn't come to any conclusion about some greater concept, nothing of any importance came to pass that night, but it is sort of the simplicity of it all that makes it beautiful.
We had just gotten back from a long night of mischief. I couldn't tell you what we did, that isn't what stuck out. Everyone was getting tired, but not in the sense where you struggle to keep your eyes open. It was more like the tired after you eat a big meal. A wholesome satisfied tired, where you don't have anywhere to be, and nothing to do, and nothing is really on your mind. It is a rare moment that comes sometimes only once in a lifetime. A moment where time stops, and you are there completely observing and enjoying that moment. Where you are completely present in that moment, It swallows you up like a comfortable blanket.
Our fearless leader Doppio raised his cup into the air, and as its' scathing contents sent wisps of steam into the air he said to us something about how it was important to remember times like this, and something profound that I took with me all my life...hmm....You know, I wish I could remember what he said. I know something about that night was really good. I just can't quite remember what. Oh well it isn't all about the memory, the important thing is that I was alive that night. I mean really living.
