“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡof0OxgQfhQ
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNYRG3JxM4
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiOo2g6XwO
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uCn987wnR
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy6EJGNGBR
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsxGCFDZbA
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy9vk2kN52
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cWM85VfEH
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4YO7Xe429
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZABupxLtvl
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfGPDGkaBt
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC9JlrKUoW
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepoYAMTTds
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZ1Q2YzOVu
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80hN8zvOLn
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMkM8swAi9
things easier.” He slowly stood up.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBOnc2W9bo
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4waN1ZjYOX
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ1B0rzamD
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5u6UbMIoZ
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kcSSGdzsP
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO2dIcn2FK
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi1nb2J4RY
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tUBJHePzl
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUc3XTcmaO
I think I will hold on to this one.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCilWxJSPL
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra0ZKjwDLH
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjcNu9h0sx
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdMyrTi8xl
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNBqzHmv1V
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz0OYwzGXQ
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSgsEkPIgL
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIuG6OqXKp
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2YAT6lwS2
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZskG3HxhP
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXETikJYPni
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ozek4vhvS
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MW9MEmKdM
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKDZdQfE2E
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGUMt8Giid
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIUo1yTCBk
in a very long time.”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvNfXB2PMz
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQLc43N2F5
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFKtAJbGav
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J3Gc4E6ts
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BbdsyWw7G
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweSyrz10RI
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzpjdZUEsl
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish300Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vAwwuFsiv
