“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”315Please respect copyright.PENANAgRqRPg1ild
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left315Please respect copyright.PENANAYIcTwwcyzg
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find315Please respect copyright.PENANAkVdRqcysPH
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them315Please respect copyright.PENANA2wO4uQCluQ
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”315Please respect copyright.PENANALYO7ovN0RI
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.315Please respect copyright.PENANAUvFeSii0IN
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,315Please respect copyright.PENANANYTgsNAYRo
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something315Please respect copyright.PENANA89lbVNckqy
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,315Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8k2NCU1HP
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none315Please respect copyright.PENANAaEyQyM1DdM
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may315Please respect copyright.PENANAjMRsQMMv2P
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and315Please respect copyright.PENANAiSyzMmrChB
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”315Please respect copyright.PENANADsETAHJgdL
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right315Please respect copyright.PENANAO1o81i64SD
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.315Please respect copyright.PENANAqSaM1jvY3l
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all315Please respect copyright.PENANAFvMKRtkAMc
things easier.” He slowly stood up.315Please respect copyright.PENANAod71Z6jKAo
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great315Please respect copyright.PENANAX08OmIg6GL
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger315Please respect copyright.PENANAVDXeWyYRjG
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your315Please respect copyright.PENANAw9CAeVwd7F
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make315Please respect copyright.PENANACC95KOD1e7
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain315Please respect copyright.PENANAO2XNAC6WV0
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed315Please respect copyright.PENANAwe7x5UQ0HY
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his315Please respect copyright.PENANA0OPbmYz2ud
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,315Please respect copyright.PENANAPbMBsMIyfJ
I think I will hold on to this one.”315Please respect copyright.PENANAA0kXPlMkxw
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not315Please respect copyright.PENANAvqCyHpUdVr
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that315Please respect copyright.PENANAc9HEgNooup
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though315Please respect copyright.PENANA6H1pCHMBq9
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something315Please respect copyright.PENANAHZUd5dzAKx
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.315Please respect copyright.PENANAR4aAMoS1LL
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.315Please respect copyright.PENANAeQjItUULWM
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,315Please respect copyright.PENANAnzaCGe5l0i
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever315Please respect copyright.PENANAtLgqqZGVF6
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks315Please respect copyright.PENANAt1AsHdbPSw
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue315Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5QF4ZMsDw
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”315Please respect copyright.PENANABPEf4K1Xox
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me315Please respect copyright.PENANAjYiX4bXyHN
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”315Please respect copyright.PENANASiP7BswGZp
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;315Please respect copyright.PENANAs9V2kdtpj4
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that315Please respect copyright.PENANAhDdCD1Dd6O
in a very long time.”315Please respect copyright.PENANATiZzsVQ8JG
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.315Please respect copyright.PENANA4xtSXHoLJd
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the315Please respect copyright.PENANAVAgGw7qNfD
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.315Please respect copyright.PENANA1Pwg2fMPgO
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.315Please respect copyright.PENANAQpBxBScslK
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.315Please respect copyright.PENANA1vClH6GWGc
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”315Please respect copyright.PENANArOSMMI59h0
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish315Please respect copyright.PENANAiysZyeugBD
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
