“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”122Please respect copyright.PENANANbY6y3CbvY
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left122Please respect copyright.PENANATADZv5iLc5
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find122Please respect copyright.PENANAdOL7JwwrF2
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them122Please respect copyright.PENANAdkjGcZ0CnL
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”122Please respect copyright.PENANAcq23LuPBEn
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.122Please respect copyright.PENANAtPvs0inxTy
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,122Please respect copyright.PENANAZkN99d2GIn
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something122Please respect copyright.PENANAgiveePEO1P
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,122Please respect copyright.PENANALg0dM8id79
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none122Please respect copyright.PENANAUmD2Kkg2Vj
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may122Please respect copyright.PENANAV6rdZL8i3Z
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and122Please respect copyright.PENANAFPL2o9UXNT
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”122Please respect copyright.PENANAhSYjWkGqWm
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right122Please respect copyright.PENANAnMtdYw4cGA
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.122Please respect copyright.PENANAcZ2B11e07i
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all122Please respect copyright.PENANA9pUxE8eha2
things easier.” He slowly stood up.122Please respect copyright.PENANAs3nqhjhzLn
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great122Please respect copyright.PENANAS6EjxDSLsP
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger122Please respect copyright.PENANAkeqPJ1kxGe
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your122Please respect copyright.PENANAD4hBmCmEa2
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make122Please respect copyright.PENANAxWhgHOiyc4
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain122Please respect copyright.PENANA5wLasXnEBv
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed122Please respect copyright.PENANAkyuikeWqbh
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his122Please respect copyright.PENANAHNp8oWTqAW
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,122Please respect copyright.PENANAXKkySKXlDU
I think I will hold on to this one.”122Please respect copyright.PENANANGLLtTkUuE
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not122Please respect copyright.PENANADtwKdWafCI
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that122Please respect copyright.PENANAaubjwprfzR
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though122Please respect copyright.PENANAKVLYou85sd
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something122Please respect copyright.PENANAUB7ckJ3OBt
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.122Please respect copyright.PENANAGNzgNyoep6
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.122Please respect copyright.PENANAuY6Utqm2O3
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,122Please respect copyright.PENANAHOtoiKVkQu
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever122Please respect copyright.PENANAWJsc3T2SCi
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks122Please respect copyright.PENANArSBa6vpWzg
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue122Please respect copyright.PENANAOaxCNsRogz
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”122Please respect copyright.PENANAzRiaUpkGsE
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me122Please respect copyright.PENANA3lCXIkvVjj
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”122Please respect copyright.PENANASBQoDdawz8
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;122Please respect copyright.PENANAQMPe2VZawl
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that122Please respect copyright.PENANAKrZ9XU6MiP
in a very long time.”122Please respect copyright.PENANAjIt5gWrXsp
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.122Please respect copyright.PENANAGgEdJFixNJ
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the122Please respect copyright.PENANAZUixEFDAmj
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.122Please respect copyright.PENANAZeWSEpNEjy
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.122Please respect copyright.PENANALzXVVD8TIA
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.122Please respect copyright.PENANA1gO8IP885H
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”122Please respect copyright.PENANAznQqf9nO6x
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish122Please respect copyright.PENANA4HQEBrSLwo
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
