“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”417Please respect copyright.PENANAVRDp8eaWcy
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left417Please respect copyright.PENANAgAMVrTRFUK
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find417Please respect copyright.PENANA2TNGEJKBQs
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them417Please respect copyright.PENANANObKnjzDdp
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”417Please respect copyright.PENANApyONMf4YD7
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.417Please respect copyright.PENANAkqx8pQicsd
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,417Please respect copyright.PENANAWIcDy57yWJ
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something417Please respect copyright.PENANAgDvz9Bpy9N
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,417Please respect copyright.PENANAskhXbaR8QU
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none417Please respect copyright.PENANAczdEhjFQhX
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may417Please respect copyright.PENANAxIYOcaSB6A
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and417Please respect copyright.PENANAm92ir5yJvl
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”417Please respect copyright.PENANAUswSOSqFlC
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right417Please respect copyright.PENANAtgViS5m3oI
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.417Please respect copyright.PENANAaWPo9iztt6
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all417Please respect copyright.PENANAMZ5MydWfmO
things easier.” He slowly stood up.417Please respect copyright.PENANAGd1CtErAPP
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great417Please respect copyright.PENANAEtLfiqP3n6
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger417Please respect copyright.PENANAIz5KhFSGw1
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your417Please respect copyright.PENANAm7bbpYFMC4
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make417Please respect copyright.PENANAq2EKjsXgWZ
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain417Please respect copyright.PENANABcYoJrpcpl
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed417Please respect copyright.PENANAutOTT36YC1
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his417Please respect copyright.PENANAzCq526apea
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,417Please respect copyright.PENANAKEktnUbFIJ
I think I will hold on to this one.”417Please respect copyright.PENANAlXK8EMdc6B
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not417Please respect copyright.PENANAoKtFEB96TA
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that417Please respect copyright.PENANAxAAH6zHgPM
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though417Please respect copyright.PENANACHm9heq0QY
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something417Please respect copyright.PENANA5PVGVjkQPz
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.417Please respect copyright.PENANAhaVsnYlkNu
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.417Please respect copyright.PENANA6vG2fZlqKx
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,417Please respect copyright.PENANARiD1ETVqBz
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever417Please respect copyright.PENANAeeNJPaEdvj
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks417Please respect copyright.PENANACN2Duimdc4
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue417Please respect copyright.PENANAHuCVCTJl0n
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”417Please respect copyright.PENANAchZGl6vVCG
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me417Please respect copyright.PENANA9xqxqrJh0g
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”417Please respect copyright.PENANAFSvmJQgpva
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;417Please respect copyright.PENANAERHqvIPyBX
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that417Please respect copyright.PENANAqMyqwDtvbq
in a very long time.”417Please respect copyright.PENANA1CEMazDFNI
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.417Please respect copyright.PENANAI2mZ2sEA0k
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the417Please respect copyright.PENANAMcn5CD9Mz4
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.417Please respect copyright.PENANAgC1hGOLyRO
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.417Please respect copyright.PENANA0i5XjlJ9VQ
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.417Please respect copyright.PENANAMahyB0AQtJ
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”417Please respect copyright.PENANAWXqPC9uiZs
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish417Please respect copyright.PENANAaVXZ9ai7w6
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
