“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”191Please respect copyright.PENANA9CZaVWS2uQ
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left191Please respect copyright.PENANAHQYrrljpEU
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find191Please respect copyright.PENANAPHro3JoBgL
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them191Please respect copyright.PENANAK492DRsOsA
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”191Please respect copyright.PENANAMzSvlcUxXu
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.191Please respect copyright.PENANAacuT8rIDsX
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,191Please respect copyright.PENANAxx2b3kQHxy
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something191Please respect copyright.PENANAu1CYgdzfaI
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,191Please respect copyright.PENANAwIE3fFkP37
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none191Please respect copyright.PENANAjQBcB5Y5aB
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may191Please respect copyright.PENANA1snmrF2m6E
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and191Please respect copyright.PENANAx9POkh5pOl
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”191Please respect copyright.PENANAA49ULKNvEP
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right191Please respect copyright.PENANAWcWcTrOeSq
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.191Please respect copyright.PENANAKZcV3ZpVGv
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all191Please respect copyright.PENANAyWZ1h4XWVk
things easier.” He slowly stood up.191Please respect copyright.PENANACbFlpnpioJ
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great191Please respect copyright.PENANAe9DIeW4EXH
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger191Please respect copyright.PENANAfmkPmnnjuk
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your191Please respect copyright.PENANAFQtdYdYgbH
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make191Please respect copyright.PENANAwBEYp31sSm
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain191Please respect copyright.PENANADAkW7d55vJ
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed191Please respect copyright.PENANAJmc1B5IUuq
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his191Please respect copyright.PENANAWqOcZNbdRk
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,191Please respect copyright.PENANAmJldz3tIrO
I think I will hold on to this one.”191Please respect copyright.PENANAKqYqvn7oWr
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not191Please respect copyright.PENANAw1SDN7mERN
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that191Please respect copyright.PENANAkTWG6KM4K6
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though191Please respect copyright.PENANA6mSalIsK7b
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something191Please respect copyright.PENANAWN8QTNmOaN
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.191Please respect copyright.PENANAaxPHsW3s7B
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.191Please respect copyright.PENANArOEXxswcmI
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,191Please respect copyright.PENANAgbWVBSiAxO
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever191Please respect copyright.PENANAYYhSG2kaV5
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks191Please respect copyright.PENANA7UEFPuFjfF
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue191Please respect copyright.PENANA8Q5UiylceA
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”191Please respect copyright.PENANAA7O7r02PEZ
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me191Please respect copyright.PENANAivrwQVDa1U
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”191Please respect copyright.PENANACNKWqVUNRQ
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;191Please respect copyright.PENANAuui1lIZXYW
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that191Please respect copyright.PENANAS2Lemp8sqQ
in a very long time.”191Please respect copyright.PENANAOLuyfERmMX
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.191Please respect copyright.PENANAQiS7pNInBO
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the191Please respect copyright.PENANAv2y44WFuRc
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.191Please respect copyright.PENANAnlrJiEpUGq
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.191Please respect copyright.PENANAfMt7QCiEkY
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.191Please respect copyright.PENANAJqAbgqL9lM
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”191Please respect copyright.PENANAykmIUj3Lo8
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish191Please respect copyright.PENANAzFKSCH5Gdx
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
