“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”411Please respect copyright.PENANAZlC2jeL3kJ
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left411Please respect copyright.PENANA5QgkSAKmCo
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find411Please respect copyright.PENANAYpVhYHPLoi
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them411Please respect copyright.PENANAZzH6AX85Ce
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”411Please respect copyright.PENANAN3Plf3mKL7
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.411Please respect copyright.PENANAd0ce6vPvbO
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,411Please respect copyright.PENANALFUjG8Ks36
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something411Please respect copyright.PENANAl2ifaJPDoL
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,411Please respect copyright.PENANACw7FWHMVJ8
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none411Please respect copyright.PENANAL7KABGqg1l
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may411Please respect copyright.PENANAAUxn1fhi7n
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and411Please respect copyright.PENANAUipdKorZG8
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”411Please respect copyright.PENANAeb4izK3ZSc
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right411Please respect copyright.PENANA2jfPwXPkEs
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.411Please respect copyright.PENANAmf4BAOxv9t
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all411Please respect copyright.PENANA2Ljw2pHZtF
things easier.” He slowly stood up.411Please respect copyright.PENANApTw5idh7L9
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great411Please respect copyright.PENANAEQQwaluYzk
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger411Please respect copyright.PENANAJzLzq681NX
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your411Please respect copyright.PENANAdr9MBtA4W4
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make411Please respect copyright.PENANAkVWLTv5NAs
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain411Please respect copyright.PENANANnLczCGw5w
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed411Please respect copyright.PENANAEjd7FI0rZL
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his411Please respect copyright.PENANAyLykazn5UF
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,411Please respect copyright.PENANAcbDlhSaGPy
I think I will hold on to this one.”411Please respect copyright.PENANAgEG5vZbJCq
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not411Please respect copyright.PENANAanqd1RbamM
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that411Please respect copyright.PENANABunuXq9IrK
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though411Please respect copyright.PENANAPHt0w5Kxym
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something411Please respect copyright.PENANA0Te6gd8ke7
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.411Please respect copyright.PENANAytg92Xp2rM
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.411Please respect copyright.PENANAKWdJg8YGIr
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,411Please respect copyright.PENANAxlUNRiiGV9
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever411Please respect copyright.PENANAZ85gXD6YHe
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks411Please respect copyright.PENANAGBvM8spyGV
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue411Please respect copyright.PENANAIuuNgGgHZt
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”411Please respect copyright.PENANASX2k3X9FWB
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me411Please respect copyright.PENANAbAwY2OKyT2
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”411Please respect copyright.PENANADRvG1NTuvT
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;411Please respect copyright.PENANA9IEvqZXYte
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that411Please respect copyright.PENANACgY9KVbbFu
in a very long time.”411Please respect copyright.PENANA3qBrRO1u4M
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.411Please respect copyright.PENANA3HXVViruXe
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the411Please respect copyright.PENANAr6aItc1P4Z
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.411Please respect copyright.PENANAhOIoJVDQXW
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.411Please respect copyright.PENANArvWh4Mg0AP
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.411Please respect copyright.PENANAepSjAtxBc0
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”411Please respect copyright.PENANA8SREFZHXHO
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish411Please respect copyright.PENANAYKAQla3uL2
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
