People always like to say that the only thing constant in life is change. This was a saying that the Mendes triplets heard often as they grew up. They never believed in old wise sayings like that. See, they themselves had at least three constants in their life.
The first was their family cabin. That old family cabin was the keeper of all their most important memories. Not all of them were happy ones. But, they were important nonetheless; and not a single one of the triplets wanted to forget them.
The second was each other. There's something special about being born with built-in best friends. They shared everything together. From faces to birthdays, to things that they wished they didn't have to share. That brings us to the third constant.
Kallie. Short for Kalliope Hayes. She's been best friends with the triplets since grade three. Anywhere the triplets were, you'd be sure to find Kallie. There was nothing that could shake their bond with her. Or so they thought.
That's the thing about the boys. They were stubborn. And they liked to think that they were different. That they were immune to the winds of time blowing past and changing how everything works. They were like leaves on an autumn tree in that way; the triplets were.
Clinging to a life full of 'constants.' Scared of what would happen if they fell from the tree, with nothing to break their fall except the cold wind. Sooner or later, though, that's what they did. One by one, each boy fell.
Until there were none left.
And it was on each of their falls that they realized. Realized that all the constants they clung to were gone. Leaving nothing but change to break their fall.
