“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”422Please respect copyright.PENANAkKj0iknPYl
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left422Please respect copyright.PENANAh2NLTqOkLe
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find422Please respect copyright.PENANAMV0E2F1tgS
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them422Please respect copyright.PENANAzc3JRNSn7S
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”422Please respect copyright.PENANA1eTr3oQoym
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.422Please respect copyright.PENANABYo8ivq1Q6
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,422Please respect copyright.PENANAqE6REqWHhf
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something422Please respect copyright.PENANA2e9zCpMoIz
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,422Please respect copyright.PENANAY5PqN0DzPp
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none422Please respect copyright.PENANAos9nZxutc8
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may422Please respect copyright.PENANA34nnrjKsUl
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and422Please respect copyright.PENANAeTcqo1fZm2
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”422Please respect copyright.PENANAntvxZCJhVT
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right422Please respect copyright.PENANAOvEFxgGy2z
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.422Please respect copyright.PENANAfD5lY2ZuvN
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all422Please respect copyright.PENANAUTMCa1AzWJ
things easier.” He slowly stood up.422Please respect copyright.PENANAP88j3sorCC
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great422Please respect copyright.PENANAXXfWP5VYKH
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger422Please respect copyright.PENANAZFvbsxiZiJ
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your422Please respect copyright.PENANAJUaJG6sX8e
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make422Please respect copyright.PENANAU904ajUQW6
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain422Please respect copyright.PENANA9fop9x3OvF
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed422Please respect copyright.PENANAxK5PBaQmKT
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his422Please respect copyright.PENANAIeEKEPgM6F
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,422Please respect copyright.PENANA5k69gm9nIp
I think I will hold on to this one.”422Please respect copyright.PENANAS4aQivYedc
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not422Please respect copyright.PENANAPvVZdbwTUn
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that422Please respect copyright.PENANAJ59SA7CKsZ
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though422Please respect copyright.PENANARqKOHsnd9C
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something422Please respect copyright.PENANAfRWrlH9uPw
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.422Please respect copyright.PENANAqCzR7iI75S
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.422Please respect copyright.PENANAN78kMKVigS
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,422Please respect copyright.PENANAs0taTVQOOx
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever422Please respect copyright.PENANAsR5GFEqJvE
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks422Please respect copyright.PENANAKiwqo4ocU0
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue422Please respect copyright.PENANALu1oNajHcM
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”422Please respect copyright.PENANAgdTPs8xPyv
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me422Please respect copyright.PENANAT6ymfysmls
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”422Please respect copyright.PENANAVP5vQ8ZYcf
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;422Please respect copyright.PENANA29SZpsHZsh
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that422Please respect copyright.PENANALYRxvdorWV
in a very long time.”422Please respect copyright.PENANACsoHe7vkti
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.422Please respect copyright.PENANA9NRaSv3yGL
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the422Please respect copyright.PENANAKuy8iWReDz
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.422Please respect copyright.PENANA6VkVa5Mw1o
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.422Please respect copyright.PENANA4gTqV1PAHK
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.422Please respect copyright.PENANA2FSajIXMxW
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”422Please respect copyright.PENANAG0LTON7xzO
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish422Please respect copyright.PENANAhsXqaWDJ9P
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
