“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”316Please respect copyright.PENANA7anv9kLsL5
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left316Please respect copyright.PENANAJPE6GWTDsC
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find316Please respect copyright.PENANAOjkoHNvldx
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them316Please respect copyright.PENANAbMXto03Nrc
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”316Please respect copyright.PENANAozGlpaOgxO
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.316Please respect copyright.PENANAieE4G9oaI7
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,316Please respect copyright.PENANACfRaxwx5HN
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something316Please respect copyright.PENANAT1LyBbniCe
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,316Please respect copyright.PENANAVatzab390r
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none316Please respect copyright.PENANAI7hsLbPp8f
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may316Please respect copyright.PENANAwKMTDLHHoA
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and316Please respect copyright.PENANAIm05ZaCzSd
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”316Please respect copyright.PENANAI3xsVqbzxs
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right316Please respect copyright.PENANA5sW8S4xfQH
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.316Please respect copyright.PENANAjYQpGRDsqg
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all316Please respect copyright.PENANAAmznlH37f6
things easier.” He slowly stood up.316Please respect copyright.PENANA2czVHp7StI
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great316Please respect copyright.PENANA9nHRs337Ir
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger316Please respect copyright.PENANAHkfRTBO5Bi
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your316Please respect copyright.PENANAGCwoM0dxU6
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make316Please respect copyright.PENANAW2nhVcadls
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain316Please respect copyright.PENANAMJ4KBK6XUL
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed316Please respect copyright.PENANAc1Lo7kZ50x
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his316Please respect copyright.PENANAI4snNPEbjz
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,316Please respect copyright.PENANAu4urFQhYqk
I think I will hold on to this one.”316Please respect copyright.PENANAhvl8tGZ7f6
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not316Please respect copyright.PENANAgCNr1pQgSE
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that316Please respect copyright.PENANA7reBmJEmEL
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though316Please respect copyright.PENANAHwaTKBh6PD
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something316Please respect copyright.PENANA2RFCbDbN1z
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.316Please respect copyright.PENANAgORH5ZT6oA
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.316Please respect copyright.PENANAQKA2Zq3nhg
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,316Please respect copyright.PENANArmbihVSLrh
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever316Please respect copyright.PENANAEPODz1WZuI
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks316Please respect copyright.PENANAYnsGaCOyvj
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue316Please respect copyright.PENANADwUUsusoDM
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”316Please respect copyright.PENANAXylw8QfIes
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me316Please respect copyright.PENANAXYKd8OjBYm
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”316Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZfQMFXTj1
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;316Please respect copyright.PENANA46l7BgWH4I
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that316Please respect copyright.PENANA4aWAURBUtr
in a very long time.”316Please respect copyright.PENANAwG4mrE1qWO
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.316Please respect copyright.PENANABw82Z7mKsZ
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the316Please respect copyright.PENANAjhSOIIN2qb
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.316Please respect copyright.PENANA5aoak08lG6
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.316Please respect copyright.PENANAgQSsrqhXLz
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.316Please respect copyright.PENANA9GYi18dxZg
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”316Please respect copyright.PENANAW7Uo59J2dc
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish316Please respect copyright.PENANAzlWIshIWwD
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
