“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”125Please respect copyright.PENANAPj0VoPFzIy
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left125Please respect copyright.PENANAqhHYRMyQ3S
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find125Please respect copyright.PENANAfGW8AeRSje
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them125Please respect copyright.PENANAlsTjQzSLnT
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”125Please respect copyright.PENANAyEDbJrEB6U
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.125Please respect copyright.PENANAQHOcaaU6gb
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,125Please respect copyright.PENANAey6x6embVi
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something125Please respect copyright.PENANAgkVyGcWP78
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,125Please respect copyright.PENANABaMkwrtF1Y
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none125Please respect copyright.PENANANEBPb92o4G
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may125Please respect copyright.PENANAVzKQDcFeuF
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and125Please respect copyright.PENANALdLWgAK9eu
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”125Please respect copyright.PENANA2Kxk5QA3Wj
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right125Please respect copyright.PENANAE9kq9pac8y
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.125Please respect copyright.PENANAeMo9bMrrYV
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all125Please respect copyright.PENANAp6r7clhZsJ
things easier.” He slowly stood up.125Please respect copyright.PENANAPQMpUP8RSn
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great125Please respect copyright.PENANAQibC9LaIkL
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger125Please respect copyright.PENANAIf8g18zjyv
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your125Please respect copyright.PENANA5AN5PkHnsc
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make125Please respect copyright.PENANAWb001p4vc8
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain125Please respect copyright.PENANAGBMiwSqX8Q
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed125Please respect copyright.PENANAoi8i4t4y6H
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his125Please respect copyright.PENANAcqUCIjecDt
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,125Please respect copyright.PENANA7VDPPCErQC
I think I will hold on to this one.”125Please respect copyright.PENANARnjZXqRigR
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not125Please respect copyright.PENANAXnwfNodD11
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that125Please respect copyright.PENANA3GmbyMqxv7
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though125Please respect copyright.PENANAL9zMBhsnSd
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something125Please respect copyright.PENANAzsCa8hSyKz
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.125Please respect copyright.PENANAwp2c9Jnr3I
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.125Please respect copyright.PENANASeo1pujh3Q
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,125Please respect copyright.PENANAS0npKRo6ED
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever125Please respect copyright.PENANAiAmbiSy2Xu
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks125Please respect copyright.PENANAI9oj13nHeR
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue125Please respect copyright.PENANA5PT5s5soZb
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAPkXSaiUN1o
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me125Please respect copyright.PENANA08buLbi8qN
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”125Please respect copyright.PENANAv6Ap9poeLa
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;125Please respect copyright.PENANAC1UQWwYa6b
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that125Please respect copyright.PENANAl0jtNStOno
in a very long time.”125Please respect copyright.PENANANxzHYdzLn0
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.125Please respect copyright.PENANAPo3L4cjtA1
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the125Please respect copyright.PENANApQXgRAupsc
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.125Please respect copyright.PENANAZ86qmqVRe6
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.125Please respect copyright.PENANAfySWFzKhgv
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.125Please respect copyright.PENANAt1T9nb4chr
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”125Please respect copyright.PENANA0aRXYkXpJw
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish125Please respect copyright.PENANAIEoFAUAqKx
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
