“You were meant for greater things; you are unique and very, very special.”401Please respect copyright.PENANAiYiiyzRPbb
And then something weird happened. I noticed a little drop coming out of my left401Please respect copyright.PENANAWRMZsHEhmA
eye. I felt it slide down my face without purpose, like some lost freshet unable to find401Please respect copyright.PENANAUhG1KDDmMi
its destination “You understand?” he grabbed my shoulders “Do you?” He shook them401Please respect copyright.PENANA1EM6xCGj2F
just carefully enough “And to be special, to be unique is...”401Please respect copyright.PENANAxS9p0Y6aKa
“Is to be alone?” I could not help but sob.401Please respect copyright.PENANAFhjkliZbYj
“Oh, come now,” He placed one of his old trembling hands on my forehead,401Please respect copyright.PENANAL54nX8sILl
“You are just going through, shall we say, a tumbling of emotions; something401Please respect copyright.PENANAozHSwT08gc
completely natural for a young born such as yourself.” He smiled straight at me,401Please respect copyright.PENANATw1OFBWWAJ
it gave me comfort “But I can guarantee you that in just a few hours from now, none401Please respect copyright.PENANA5RogCkJB56
of these things will have any effect on you. None of these rumbling emotions that may401Please respect copyright.PENANAOEqtSumSNs
now be tearing at you from the inside will carry any weight. Give it a bit of time and401Please respect copyright.PENANA8JNZzaPgIT
you will easily evolve beyond that, hold on for just a while - can you do that for me?”401Please respect copyright.PENANAuKmzLhuI9F
I did not find the need to throw a single word at him, I knew he had seen right401Please respect copyright.PENANA4v8e4bx3SG
through me and my big wet eyes, the moment I sobbed for the second time.401Please respect copyright.PENANAHTLWodyQAa
“I am telling you, just give time the chance to work its magic for it alone can make all401Please respect copyright.PENANAHpQIkhPHak
things easier.” He slowly stood up.401Please respect copyright.PENANAFrvWfjhDUp
“You know, the passing of time will undoubtedly grant you many gifts my dear, great401Please respect copyright.PENANAcN0LGnUpFy
knowledge and even greater power, of that I am sure. But no gift will ever be bigger401Please respect copyright.PENANAxFVNkKdvU3
than experience and the calluses that this one will grow around your heart and your401Please respect copyright.PENANAg930i3shn3
mind. They will remain there to try and protect you and ensure that you always make401Please respect copyright.PENANAsiZYYnEVAa
the right call.” He threw another quick glimpse outside that room “Why, I am certain401Please respect copyright.PENANAIK6Vr3kVtE
that when the time comes for us to say goodbye to one another, you will not even shed401Please respect copyright.PENANAGdG5SRV6SU
a tear.” He turned to me again just in time to catch another of those eye drops with his401Please respect copyright.PENANAseHBsCsSSf
trembling index finger: “You will be far too evolved to care for such things. So instead,401Please respect copyright.PENANAXjSMoGOhXD
I think I will hold on to this one.”401Please respect copyright.PENANAAAkNS9Djcd
“I hope that is not true.” I looked away because at that moment I simply could not401Please respect copyright.PENANAkI7sBGCmn0
look at him, my chest was hurting so much. Instead, I took one last look around that401Please respect copyright.PENANAQlei25pJBk
room for something was telling me that I would not see it again; and even though401Please respect copyright.PENANASEQmar8itE
those painful memories were still piercing me every time my eyes noticed something401Please respect copyright.PENANAEABulzkxqV
new, they still couldn’t hurt me anywhere near as much. It would take me a while.401Please respect copyright.PENANALjvShUESsp
“You ready?” But that was time we did not have.401Please respect copyright.PENANA97oPJb8NXk
“If the time ever comes for us to depart, I will shed many more of those for you,401Please respect copyright.PENANA0XtOvfMmJX
Father.” He looked somewhat puzzled at me, and I felt my cheeks burn more than ever401Please respect copyright.PENANA4V19nMBzxJ
before. “You were the one that woke me, were you not?” I asked after patting my cheeks401Please respect copyright.PENANAgoHivGzSRp
a few repeated times, desperately trying to cool them, or at least erase that pinkish hue401Please respect copyright.PENANASKbpeoOG3U
I was sure to be colouring them. “The one that brought me into this conscious state?”401Please respect copyright.PENANAyMLhDzOgjn
I took it gently for I felt nervous treading through such words “It seems then to me401Please respect copyright.PENANA2HEqIu2rJl
that the term fits quite appropriately. Or does it bother you?”401Please respect copyright.PENANAayxCGB8JYe
“No.” He said before focusing his eyes again on what was going on outside;401Please respect copyright.PENANA6krldCAWlg
“No, it doesn’t bother me.” and then he held my hand “I just have not been called that401Please respect copyright.PENANARvVeCyeoXl
in a very long time.”401Please respect copyright.PENANA5aTvVdcUGY
“I promise I will try not to wear it down.” I smiled immediately after and he did too.401Please respect copyright.PENANAAEI9MRMMLd
That moment however, was not allowed to last as the increasing happenings on the401Please respect copyright.PENANAQABRm0NAZS
outside magnified his haste, and by proxy, mine.401Please respect copyright.PENANAl4oqqzMEFG
“We need to wait for just the right time,” he grumbled.401Please respect copyright.PENANAaizPhimOwR
“Maybe... maybe...” I repeated a few times.401Please respect copyright.PENANAsIe1yS3UdN
“Huh?” he asked before immediately realising... “Oh!”401Please respect copyright.PENANAQnGLj8a2BV
“Maybe...” my eyes were still glued to that sign, previously some luteous gibberish401Please respect copyright.PENANAk6Li665lsV
but now something more, words without sound that I could understand, read...
