“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”313Please respect copyright.PENANAa8vp258lCb
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left313Please respect copyright.PENANASlxiSvYgoo
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find313Please respect copyright.PENANA2dAWQlGGC9
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them313Please respect copyright.PENANAPDuwgm2iHt
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”313Please respect copyright.PENANA5SfxWLkHRY
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.313Please respect copyright.PENANARyZy8uo0Hc
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,313Please respect copyright.PENANAKmX7IfmR0q
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something313Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ5xksLDpT
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,313Please respect copyright.PENANA60db6QpAoQ
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none313Please respect copyright.PENANAhBeIO57OVj
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may313Please respect copyright.PENANADLuHdTzvKX
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and313Please respect copyright.PENANALIrVKgg5UX
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”313Please respect copyright.PENANAwppATiaw6H
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right313Please respect copyright.PENANA10mJAfZqdb
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.313Please respect copyright.PENANA5TYR9ijk2v
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all313Please respect copyright.PENANAAy8xgKnj3h
things easier.” He slowly stood up.313Please respect copyright.PENANAXZZyOcHWAq
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great313Please respect copyright.PENANAzJcmmJndbx
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger313Please respect copyright.PENANAWXSJCgyZjf
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your313Please respect copyright.PENANAAG9om645oW
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make313Please respect copyright.PENANAZkLQqvj3Bs
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain313Please respect copyright.PENANA8RZsyiK0PM
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed313Please respect copyright.PENANABtlusXbSgG
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his313Please respect copyright.PENANAEdejHjjRAQ
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,313Please respect copyright.PENANA3ht1TeeU5F
I think I will hold on to this one.”313Please respect copyright.PENANAN7XOPiNmYF
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not313Please respect copyright.PENANA1Q9S6adE54
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that313Please respect copyright.PENANAneaMFWdJ0J
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though313Please respect copyright.PENANAGSvgTP30Vi
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something313Please respect copyright.PENANAlRCOeYis5J
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.313Please respect copyright.PENANAyKR5rhc8tL
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.313Please respect copyright.PENANAEDeV59lvyX
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,313Please respect copyright.PENANA3TZ2dDCQuh
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever313Please respect copyright.PENANAUySZzaEbQo
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks313Please respect copyright.PENANArXwX9itLL8
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue313Please respect copyright.PENANAoBAuXwB8Ej
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”313Please respect copyright.PENANA30AT0d3HDQ
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me313Please respect copyright.PENANAyDLKFBWMRq
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”313Please respect copyright.PENANAWJPw36AevZ
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;313Please respect copyright.PENANA3wAf9psOAP
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that313Please respect copyright.PENANAqcCcOmACoj
in a very long time.”313Please respect copyright.PENANA5VrRyIloYg
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.313Please respect copyright.PENANAkipjM06aHH
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the313Please respect copyright.PENANAX4CJo1uVt4
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.313Please respect copyright.PENANAp7BoiDiBNU
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.313Please respect copyright.PENANAIAVZkMPEZf
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.313Please respect copyright.PENANAvGvHflbbx9
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”313Please respect copyright.PENANAA1Kz5KAAJc
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish313Please respect copyright.PENANAFns2aTzemv
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
