“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”108Please respect copyright.PENANA3IofvJWTsr
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left108Please respect copyright.PENANAG7ZwbMgijX
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find108Please respect copyright.PENANAG8H0QfUBUn
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them108Please respect copyright.PENANAqtKo31n1Tj
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”108Please respect copyright.PENANApuCQEEVMFL
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.108Please respect copyright.PENANAqPpaB82Bek
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,108Please respect copyright.PENANAWmqvAzKeiN
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something108Please respect copyright.PENANALB5pqZOJ2u
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,108Please respect copyright.PENANABcaDhSmU9y
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none108Please respect copyright.PENANAvhMWUKwmpS
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may108Please respect copyright.PENANAiZviWNFB9t
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and108Please respect copyright.PENANAnD8ShPdJ8l
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”108Please respect copyright.PENANA5JcmwXv1Xx
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right108Please respect copyright.PENANA4q92PNHvWh
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.108Please respect copyright.PENANAf3WR7BSuwP
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all108Please respect copyright.PENANAu4YJSdfblS
things easier.” He slowly stood up.108Please respect copyright.PENANAW1PgjLoFBy
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great108Please respect copyright.PENANAKKJrroTdLq
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger108Please respect copyright.PENANADE7pFVSR9R
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your108Please respect copyright.PENANAY4gX9kVOrQ
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make108Please respect copyright.PENANAjYfUqGch5T
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain108Please respect copyright.PENANAS7MdnGNJot
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed108Please respect copyright.PENANAUPkPZQoXDN
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his108Please respect copyright.PENANAnPQzfOH7WK
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,108Please respect copyright.PENANAEZzASvKesS
I think I will hold on to this one.”108Please respect copyright.PENANAVQWtdwIERA
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not108Please respect copyright.PENANAO69EEVi6mA
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that108Please respect copyright.PENANAwiaHSzzm9e
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though108Please respect copyright.PENANAwNH7UKqy91
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something108Please respect copyright.PENANAEWU3w1e7zK
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.108Please respect copyright.PENANAQsapVDDBVr
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.108Please respect copyright.PENANAgFl6d380MB
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,108Please respect copyright.PENANAGIoGA01JxE
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever108Please respect copyright.PENANA1r1Bb0Nv6A
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks108Please respect copyright.PENANAsalag8ieZk
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue108Please respect copyright.PENANAdhX07CAaBK
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”108Please respect copyright.PENANAjo6UZIqdJ7
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me108Please respect copyright.PENANAaOq49M0eeI
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”108Please respect copyright.PENANA7uAFnpRRRm
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;108Please respect copyright.PENANAEksz7APXQU
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that108Please respect copyright.PENANAKOWeyPHTSQ
in a very long time.”108Please respect copyright.PENANAANc95M3an9
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.108Please respect copyright.PENANAfNjxg1XYFG
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the108Please respect copyright.PENANA7y4YHTEKmc
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.108Please respect copyright.PENANA7sc4J3W896
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.108Please respect copyright.PENANA95KSudax4H
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.108Please respect copyright.PENANAZy1IZBtpwq
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”108Please respect copyright.PENANAMd8oPbL83D
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish108Please respect copyright.PENANAFpYDwNFRGf
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
