He then went on, somewhat callously as he did not even stop what he was doing to92Please respect copyright.PENANALpyfDvaonk
throw a glimpse my way.92Please respect copyright.PENANArBiA2GnrI2
“You saw them just now, didn’t you? The aircraft that will soon be making its way92Please respect copyright.PENANAuCTsGh1Aau
here I mean. Good. It is just as she said you would,” he grabbed a small but thick92Please respect copyright.PENANAWddFPbZc59
notepad and carefully stuffed it in the biggest pocket available to him. “What you92Please respect copyright.PENANAFmgo3axL1g
saw, that is the beginning of your way out of here. Now hurry along please; come on,92Please respect copyright.PENANAGS5nuJ9Hcv
we have to get going.” His hand then made what I easily interpreted as a summoning92Please respect copyright.PENANAODg8bLLUNx
gesture. In response to that calling, I promptly leapt from that bed.92Please respect copyright.PENANASALGlE2mNn
As soon as I did, quickly looking around, I was suddenly flooded with memories,92Please respect copyright.PENANAlOkccnraLQ
clearly not mine, that stubbornly poured into my head. I immediately obtained a92Please respect copyright.PENANAilCjYWOoAv
better understanding of what that room really was. Many terrible things had been92Please respect copyright.PENANAHd1FYnfj5s
happening in that dark and confined space for a long time, all around where he and92Please respect copyright.PENANA1qnM609srO
I both stood. I could see it, feel it, so clearly; as if not others but I, had gone through92Please respect copyright.PENANA7sZ6z84X5p
such terrible ordeals many times before. I could not help but stare at him so scared and92Please respect copyright.PENANAXrWaWjs4Ok
confused. Those visions would not stop and the more I was seeing, remembering; the92Please respect copyright.PENANAIW797mYqx6
more lost I was becoming...92Please respect copyright.PENANABgRvOOUuAN
“Genetic memories;” He snapped me back from that state with those two words,92Please respect copyright.PENANAYQCCLHTTlR
“things you did not experience yourself but can remember nonetheless.” He then92Please respect copyright.PENANAd1l6OgSCNP
opened the door that would allow us to leave, slowly and carefully, just a little bit.92Please respect copyright.PENANAXfEe1E4cfI
Cautiously he took a quick peek outside, a clear attempt to try and have a look at what92Please respect copyright.PENANALTCMqfjhna
could still be going on. “Wear those.” he pointed at some clothes waiting for me on92Please respect copyright.PENANAHloBva4hpp
the nearest table “They will have to do for now. We will see what we can get you later.”92Please respect copyright.PENANALracHvGPqy
I clumsily managed to put them on and after I was done, he invited me with a gentle92Please respect copyright.PENANAMX7oa3DRoA
wave of his hand. Shyly I began taking my first slow steps towards him, following92Please respect copyright.PENANAHUeg7lVHDx
trustfully the instructions of his right hand as this one kept beckoning me, asking me92Please respect copyright.PENANAfxz7HtZScd
to come to him.92Please respect copyright.PENANATPa4BSBeVv
“In time, many things will return to you child, and some of those things only the92Please respect copyright.PENANAXidfILGUbL
very few could own any hope of knowing. You will come to remember and learn all92Please respect copyright.PENANATX7fhApUuf
that came before you, every event in the lives of all the ancients. You will come to know92Please respect copyright.PENANAGrtQQCekm4
all that they did and experience what they once have.”92Please respect copyright.PENANAyR895xyEgK
He turned to me again, once I was almost within range, and slowly knelt, “You see,92Please respect copyright.PENANAhMaS6QpCCr
you don’t need to ask me any questions because soon, you will know far more than92Please respect copyright.PENANA16bogFMPoa
me or any other. This I will keep telling you, as many times as you need to hear it.92Please respect copyright.PENANAfbLweePhfF
You will know and see far more than most could ever tell you.” With both of his arms,92Please respect copyright.PENANABtyQWapRXZ
he invited me over “You just wait with your doubts.” He invited me again and I took92Please respect copyright.PENANAqVGH6a88xb
the last few steps towards him “I will soon be proven right.”92Please respect copyright.PENANAPySvT7jO3P
He paused to try and catch a bit of his fleeting breath, he coughed too, “I believe92Please respect copyright.PENANAWI4ozJSbZN
you to be the answer that our misguided world has been waiting for, and that is why92Please respect copyright.PENANARHGU5NbNbm
I have decided to set you free.”92Please respect copyright.PENANAHHmJ3m6vrs
“I don’t understand,” I said shaking, looking at my own hands. Only then was I able92Please respect copyright.PENANAlOkqLHlobm
to appreciate how much smaller than him I was. Even though he was kneeling before92Please respect copyright.PENANAG254k6L2GV
me, waiting, and inviting me for a hug, he was still taller than me.92Please respect copyright.PENANAsiCvoNs7Yr
“Many things will come to you,” He held me tight in his arms and it felt good92Please respect copyright.PENANAPpPc6LBXCB
“not only the memories of what once was but also the visions of what is at this very92Please respect copyright.PENANARg5u293K3x
moment, and also what may yet come to pass.” He pushed me away gently to stare92Please respect copyright.PENANA7aMiHvpux7
at my eyes, “I cannot help you when it comes to dealing with that for I cannot even92Please respect copyright.PENANAscLyjUPhpP
imagine, let alone understand, what it might be like. Seeing the past, present, and92Please respect copyright.PENANARWGyBdso4p
possible futures every time you blink or have a dream? I do not think any Human can.92Please respect copyright.PENANAqN7iyTCGtz
All I can do is promise to be by your side. To take your hand as you go through it.”92Please respect copyright.PENANA20xiQn05d4
“How do you know all this? How -” It was my turn now to halt my words although92Please respect copyright.PENANAiZHmGxgklg
I couldn’t say for sure why; I mean I felt no air fleeing from me that I should try and92Please respect copyright.PENANAKPDaQKRRyK
recapture. “So much about me, I mean.” I slowly resumed “How come you can...”92Please respect copyright.PENANAcuVS131srU
“Because you were designed that way.” He hugged me again, even tighter than the92Please respect copyright.PENANA5ApyuTykos
first time.92Please respect copyright.PENANA4YlhiGm56D
“Designed?” I hugged him back, it felt even better for me too, “I don’t understand.”92Please respect copyright.PENANAhKsSWX1bHQ
“Oh, my dear; but you will, I promise.” His arms tightened around me, gently, and I92Please respect copyright.PENANAZLxOQHN07J
felt safe, I did not want them to let go
