“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”325Please respect copyright.PENANArGEH87KoGZ
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left325Please respect copyright.PENANAp0R9Z4PLLY
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find325Please respect copyright.PENANAXLVtn8p4gi
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them325Please respect copyright.PENANA4r29BVF2Qi
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”325Please respect copyright.PENANAjmsWhy3P3j
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.325Please respect copyright.PENANASTKPncSCqB
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,325Please respect copyright.PENANAMcIFrbrtd9
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something325Please respect copyright.PENANAfrVXSpFlDL
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,325Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5YRMlsips
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none325Please respect copyright.PENANAA8vMxM0BOH
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may325Please respect copyright.PENANA1KmxtiPTho
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and325Please respect copyright.PENANANgstbTbGuX
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”325Please respect copyright.PENANACPMcb9g5KE
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right325Please respect copyright.PENANAkeljRKT8YX
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.325Please respect copyright.PENANADZHtLaqa12
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all325Please respect copyright.PENANAQ338VHbYmP
things easier.” He slowly stood up.325Please respect copyright.PENANAxWwBasK7Eu
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great325Please respect copyright.PENANAPfsCGbT5NL
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger325Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ2Y9oFwPF
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your325Please respect copyright.PENANAkx67pshqCc
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make325Please respect copyright.PENANAPCLjXHxpAP
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain325Please respect copyright.PENANAkkLsjAWzEC
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed325Please respect copyright.PENANAKmK9Erx7cf
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his325Please respect copyright.PENANAVbiPka4WV3
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,325Please respect copyright.PENANA6uC2GsOhgE
I think I will hold on to this one.”325Please respect copyright.PENANACKV2NwJ7IK
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not325Please respect copyright.PENANA8ioiqPPAY9
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that325Please respect copyright.PENANABWfb9Yky66
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though325Please respect copyright.PENANAOqKbfleEqR
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something325Please respect copyright.PENANAscsn5yG4tY
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.325Please respect copyright.PENANAhlbfTEmKXe
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.325Please respect copyright.PENANAy3NUjnfBYu
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,325Please respect copyright.PENANAf6rFNu3An6
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever325Please respect copyright.PENANAtAF8PeWu96
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks325Please respect copyright.PENANAdBYqwsnkDQ
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue325Please respect copyright.PENANAwaAZ9ICXym
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”325Please respect copyright.PENANACnJICySLrh
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me325Please respect copyright.PENANAas5QDUp5eW
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”325Please respect copyright.PENANAFJdCkturUk
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;325Please respect copyright.PENANAZRqkO87ieS
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that325Please respect copyright.PENANAzAxl6OaKNb
in a very long time.”325Please respect copyright.PENANA8HdAlUThdG
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.325Please respect copyright.PENANAdopKPU648h
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the325Please respect copyright.PENANAjNOQ3ezQyZ
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.325Please respect copyright.PENANA2Zh0I4CUGH
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.325Please respect copyright.PENANA2okWzCshMB
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.325Please respect copyright.PENANANlt1WBcukt
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”325Please respect copyright.PENANAlM8xZAHvYW
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish325Please respect copyright.PENANAwJzxqXQ8UE
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
