“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”413Please respect copyright.PENANAQLSz7I4v8W
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left413Please respect copyright.PENANAVZ58z5U1Fs
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find413Please respect copyright.PENANAKT3iTACNqm
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them413Please respect copyright.PENANAV3pzDbxJbt
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”413Please respect copyright.PENANAXOsNzj4Vul
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.413Please respect copyright.PENANAXkH8Vwx1yo
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,413Please respect copyright.PENANAkHhV3ZB266
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something413Please respect copyright.PENANAEt0WBsGvwV
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,413Please respect copyright.PENANAXFMRJwJ3xu
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none413Please respect copyright.PENANAqnRCWUAePb
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may413Please respect copyright.PENANAYNV3xRvw7v
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and413Please respect copyright.PENANAg8RYd3b2t2
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”413Please respect copyright.PENANAMfWTl3GGoe
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right413Please respect copyright.PENANAsaGsDDA2lf
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.413Please respect copyright.PENANAr0eaEFeBUT
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all413Please respect copyright.PENANAskf4GdTMRi
things easier.” He slowly stood up.413Please respect copyright.PENANA55PxppdgYM
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great413Please respect copyright.PENANA3lmAiw94yI
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger413Please respect copyright.PENANAqSb4o8aHBf
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your413Please respect copyright.PENANAEYiuSXefc8
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make413Please respect copyright.PENANAV8R6Wzh6Ar
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain413Please respect copyright.PENANAENKuaOTEdN
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed413Please respect copyright.PENANACXBpZ1vqrQ
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his413Please respect copyright.PENANAbFzsPBTm7B
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,413Please respect copyright.PENANAel2bEPriRX
I think I will hold on to this one.”413Please respect copyright.PENANAQX2w61mbNK
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not413Please respect copyright.PENANADE555oWKoy
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that413Please respect copyright.PENANAQc4I0ItXj9
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though413Please respect copyright.PENANAzzVoaQmIgq
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something413Please respect copyright.PENANAAvQCz7l1ob
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.413Please respect copyright.PENANAOtcxR8aysI
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.413Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZfKy5NpEn
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,413Please respect copyright.PENANA79z3qdiPoC
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever413Please respect copyright.PENANAmr0ui9WJkz
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks413Please respect copyright.PENANAtBnq48X2gq
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue413Please respect copyright.PENANA5f1X2dkyEE
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”413Please respect copyright.PENANAkUZXw9gnau
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me413Please respect copyright.PENANA2qkISRseML
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”413Please respect copyright.PENANAqfDZmFDAdy
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;413Please respect copyright.PENANAgcHtSUeVAl
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that413Please respect copyright.PENANAqI1RsOi0ju
in a very long time.”413Please respect copyright.PENANAwceTw1NXSd
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.413Please respect copyright.PENANAkDAngTBoMw
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the413Please respect copyright.PENANAG2eZx9DSNN
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.413Please respect copyright.PENANAMyV1dBp7Tr
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.413Please respect copyright.PENANATsIhjtuOXb
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.413Please respect copyright.PENANAyQQXn1Xphx
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”413Please respect copyright.PENANA38Rj38kMbp
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish413Please respect copyright.PENANAk8uMGRDKB5
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
