“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”336Please respect copyright.PENANAUxZXHZbv67
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left336Please respect copyright.PENANA5YoRF7YWZp
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find336Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3LuIShbgE
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them336Please respect copyright.PENANAyqJQ0ZRR1y
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”336Please respect copyright.PENANAdZeXEzyeVK
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.336Please respect copyright.PENANAqEvQ3EVdG5
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,336Please respect copyright.PENANAqcdEg4Cfnv
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something336Please respect copyright.PENANAyXdBKgifyG
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,336Please respect copyright.PENANAk9W3EbA6gu
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none336Please respect copyright.PENANAuhc7M4C0yp
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may336Please respect copyright.PENANAmB5WtDA58l
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and336Please respect copyright.PENANA97Cx9Jpjef
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”336Please respect copyright.PENANA4dJM5dgDvV
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right336Please respect copyright.PENANAEyfqXkQGpx
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.336Please respect copyright.PENANApMHsJiTgZb
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all336Please respect copyright.PENANABwEM82O2A5
things easier.” He slowly stood up.336Please respect copyright.PENANAzoM30epX4d
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great336Please respect copyright.PENANA4Mvqokm6mR
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger336Please respect copyright.PENANAtoyAtWGOb1
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your336Please respect copyright.PENANAp7sQ37B92n
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make336Please respect copyright.PENANAUvE9srY8vY
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain336Please respect copyright.PENANAya3lNr5Spz
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed336Please respect copyright.PENANA6n8WrpFjJv
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his336Please respect copyright.PENANAuMOelaTjeL
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,336Please respect copyright.PENANAI6BQXRYcdQ
I think I will hold on to this one.”336Please respect copyright.PENANAACIu1nbNFK
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not336Please respect copyright.PENANAMRH2m2TXoL
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that336Please respect copyright.PENANAgFc0KVnMzO
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though336Please respect copyright.PENANAixkjMnUJKg
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something336Please respect copyright.PENANASOKUrI4VeI
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.336Please respect copyright.PENANA25uMV1gEWs
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.336Please respect copyright.PENANABo3Ad6xdbr
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,336Please respect copyright.PENANAuO5rG7TEgA
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever336Please respect copyright.PENANA9Zny9FJqan
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks336Please respect copyright.PENANA9Aj8OXQXqG
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue336Please respect copyright.PENANAU0dAtCfx92
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”336Please respect copyright.PENANASwpHaSF9Bc
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me336Please respect copyright.PENANAiJUFLcnqsQ
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”336Please respect copyright.PENANA6srgeybOSn
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;336Please respect copyright.PENANArnGtTU7F00
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that336Please respect copyright.PENANA34vOoPbSoZ
in a very long time.”336Please respect copyright.PENANA5nbK8soZQC
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.336Please respect copyright.PENANAynKW3dBbXZ
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the336Please respect copyright.PENANAstAAEe9kyt
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.336Please respect copyright.PENANAf7yiVn4Tje
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.336Please respect copyright.PENANAmNUde0JWgp
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.336Please respect copyright.PENANARBA7ucb4JQ
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”336Please respect copyright.PENANAoxJNrJQRcd
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish336Please respect copyright.PENANAdofrh0pBfC
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
