“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”112Please respect copyright.PENANAyCmvsq2WaU
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left112Please respect copyright.PENANAwyg4BfAv2c
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find112Please respect copyright.PENANAQnltGzHTtg
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them112Please respect copyright.PENANAdP9oYllxQm
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”112Please respect copyright.PENANAa0dt8uoUMJ
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.112Please respect copyright.PENANAXNsKnQPFx6
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,112Please respect copyright.PENANAfA4tGJONDJ
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something112Please respect copyright.PENANAAyJusoBoCi
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,112Please respect copyright.PENANAr03UOw4xNB
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none112Please respect copyright.PENANAoOT6qcNvtf
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may112Please respect copyright.PENANAXq2WLqnLBO
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and112Please respect copyright.PENANAMtVE3GgAOb
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”112Please respect copyright.PENANA71USkq9dR3
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right112Please respect copyright.PENANAdYY9K6HMoq
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.112Please respect copyright.PENANAU32LqrwZHw
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all112Please respect copyright.PENANAkZVOwXHVVK
things easier.” He slowly stood up.112Please respect copyright.PENANAusTqHMkd0m
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great112Please respect copyright.PENANAFng5Gm4NMX
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger112Please respect copyright.PENANAiX4eqUIP4B
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your112Please respect copyright.PENANAtKD6XsMSXg
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make112Please respect copyright.PENANA8b4MtIkhoe
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain112Please respect copyright.PENANAe50XxP8d18
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed112Please respect copyright.PENANAyiXrEK1WG4
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his112Please respect copyright.PENANADqeQfCQy8Y
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,112Please respect copyright.PENANAO93nfLBhsM
I think I will hold on to this one.”112Please respect copyright.PENANACjcpgedj1Z
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not112Please respect copyright.PENANAFdoOWC1G5V
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that112Please respect copyright.PENANAdWWNex3Qn9
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though112Please respect copyright.PENANAxDfmF4mglT
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something112Please respect copyright.PENANA27CuH0SQ3k
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.112Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0GsRrRaKz
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.112Please respect copyright.PENANApYRwyjBq3Q
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,112Please respect copyright.PENANAli5ERsj3Ck
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever112Please respect copyright.PENANAOVRAt0mlf0
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks112Please respect copyright.PENANA7hGhixTfVx
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue112Please respect copyright.PENANArVbOMTymJV
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”112Please respect copyright.PENANAJ55C3aGNF5
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me112Please respect copyright.PENANAcsxAMlPjUO
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”112Please respect copyright.PENANA8P7On0FadL
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;112Please respect copyright.PENANAzMTscObTE0
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that112Please respect copyright.PENANAWaOEeunvHF
in a very long time.”112Please respect copyright.PENANAhzd9PY7GeD
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.112Please respect copyright.PENANAzgw9AJtwzj
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the112Please respect copyright.PENANAsadEHIczZX
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.112Please respect copyright.PENANAUe61c8kcuW
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.112Please respect copyright.PENANAfIU8al1L0Z
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.112Please respect copyright.PENANAiShiYbNM5T
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”112Please respect copyright.PENANAhGc4E1ELZx
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish112Please respect copyright.PENANAEU5UYvns70
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
