“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”247Please respect copyright.PENANA3oyH1GeTjU
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left247Please respect copyright.PENANAL3zaJ2SVms
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find247Please respect copyright.PENANA2SW5qi4vaI
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them247Please respect copyright.PENANAXrbqAhx3Od
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”247Please respect copyright.PENANAErBIT5iRDl
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.247Please respect copyright.PENANAkKXVVz19Vt
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,247Please respect copyright.PENANAxOpOgc2VSy
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something247Please respect copyright.PENANAzWWeoucSMk
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,247Please respect copyright.PENANAAtF8utK4VG
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none247Please respect copyright.PENANAGpjzIqaUTG
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may247Please respect copyright.PENANAO5hzu4erY0
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and247Please respect copyright.PENANAkM8xMb9vU4
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”247Please respect copyright.PENANAMHY3ezy3Xx
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right247Please respect copyright.PENANAoN3DMB2yu7
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.247Please respect copyright.PENANAcmaaclLSeV
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all247Please respect copyright.PENANAi2BG6DZdhs
things easier.” He slowly stood up.247Please respect copyright.PENANAlrWjntaWXN
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great247Please respect copyright.PENANAxYMUAVSZAt
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger247Please respect copyright.PENANA0LjoRXs1fQ
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your247Please respect copyright.PENANAgaIrOP2USb
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make247Please respect copyright.PENANAFvNhkjqb9r
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain247Please respect copyright.PENANAKrfiGvHMXD
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed247Please respect copyright.PENANAJt2JQYzsBd
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his247Please respect copyright.PENANAJdFaYgj9tV
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,247Please respect copyright.PENANAc3wbY5cPP7
I think I will hold on to this one.”247Please respect copyright.PENANAiF5ErzczBA
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not247Please respect copyright.PENANAkmY2q8bJMr
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that247Please respect copyright.PENANAlG1aTBhK1S
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though247Please respect copyright.PENANA8bxTD3pKfi
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something247Please respect copyright.PENANAs26kwaSEFq
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.247Please respect copyright.PENANAvPvGsMPHeB
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.247Please respect copyright.PENANAKusebYCYre
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,247Please respect copyright.PENANAwK0u8jPHZV
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever247Please respect copyright.PENANAFnEYA4QRnz
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks247Please respect copyright.PENANA8cg86lNiss
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue247Please respect copyright.PENANA4TKZbJQOj6
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”247Please respect copyright.PENANAyatNzdWqqg
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me247Please respect copyright.PENANAZj0jL3hmvs
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”247Please respect copyright.PENANA8Xk127ayzT
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;247Please respect copyright.PENANAEPisguYVJV
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that247Please respect copyright.PENANAwb8Q2DfGj6
in a very long time.”247Please respect copyright.PENANAooRnl5E98E
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.247Please respect copyright.PENANAXNBGUqmgZU
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the247Please respect copyright.PENANAAtj8yv2KaC
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.247Please respect copyright.PENANATCNElgkY8v
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.247Please respect copyright.PENANAsWgIsLWrxC
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.247Please respect copyright.PENANAbxHdEsTtX7
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”247Please respect copyright.PENANAONnBsxwszI
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish247Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1M61C9Iad
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
