“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”314Please respect copyright.PENANA7kKZjXCnya
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left314Please respect copyright.PENANA0gG54m3JHC
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find314Please respect copyright.PENANAxBtREtZPLi
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them314Please respect copyright.PENANAWQp9ygqb0Z
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”314Please respect copyright.PENANAlKYBksx9Sk
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.314Please respect copyright.PENANAXd6wsu0fQq
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,314Please respect copyright.PENANAw6dskg0Qtv
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something314Please respect copyright.PENANA8PubOjfj5W
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,314Please respect copyright.PENANAEYP1XgEppg
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none314Please respect copyright.PENANAsqUrhr8mHw
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may314Please respect copyright.PENANAhchXnGzKIO
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and314Please respect copyright.PENANAgvgJVgt14W
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”314Please respect copyright.PENANAUd66mhRQuA
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right314Please respect copyright.PENANAD5CSg44ZVt
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.314Please respect copyright.PENANAqUQAMXt0kY
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all314Please respect copyright.PENANArOEfGBboB6
things easier.” He slowly stood up.314Please respect copyright.PENANATrLNbXQu0Y
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great314Please respect copyright.PENANAkAWcxAl3ef
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger314Please respect copyright.PENANA50Mqvz0kX6
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your314Please respect copyright.PENANAB2ukvutnLX
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make314Please respect copyright.PENANAoMkvW9q5Fl
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain314Please respect copyright.PENANAxP07EQ3NS5
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed314Please respect copyright.PENANAMwR80LKlOO
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his314Please respect copyright.PENANAzYCZgXsCSJ
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,314Please respect copyright.PENANAlRdrk11bWE
I think I will hold on to this one.”314Please respect copyright.PENANAtJPqPH2CVO
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not314Please respect copyright.PENANAYSnwCrujp6
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that314Please respect copyright.PENANAO3Hu4O47mS
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though314Please respect copyright.PENANA8l1oEzTQ9Z
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something314Please respect copyright.PENANAH14NgIjXfs
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.314Please respect copyright.PENANAKackEB0HWS
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.314Please respect copyright.PENANAb9oot3Cj3L
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,314Please respect copyright.PENANAdwBEmkxEKd
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever314Please respect copyright.PENANATn4ENOPa3z
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks314Please respect copyright.PENANA1JU4Qzhcyg
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue314Please respect copyright.PENANAeh2yXrjc0L
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”314Please respect copyright.PENANAyGwL0wYGig
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me314Please respect copyright.PENANAwb6paQjRUF
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”314Please respect copyright.PENANAQEZ5o4x7uB
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;314Please respect copyright.PENANAnSmEJtXfd6
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that314Please respect copyright.PENANAxtFCwE2zy8
in a very long time.”314Please respect copyright.PENANAiNQL3Ejz0m
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.314Please respect copyright.PENANAbFilugKi8A
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the314Please respect copyright.PENANA3cJ3yZmm81
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.314Please respect copyright.PENANA6xs8mMDUl6
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.314Please respect copyright.PENANA5e9ao1xc7N
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.314Please respect copyright.PENANA0G1frT8k7O
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”314Please respect copyright.PENANAwp6G0kN5sH
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish314Please respect copyright.PENANAlV07jehtec
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
