"How'd you do it?"
"Somehow the fear fueled me. I was frozen. I don't think I had a heartbeat, and then it was like I was possessed by a force of pure power, like I was protecting another, but no one was there."
"You were there. Maybe that force was one of your elders, a warrior for sure."
"Maybe they became me? Stepped into my skin? Turned me from severely weakened into a superhuman? Or maybe it was an angel? But why save me? I'm nothing special, and I sure don't remember praying, yet from the depth of me, somewhere beyond my terror, a tiny mustard seed of what was left of my soul had that much hope there would be a way I'd make it back to the world, that there would be some fantastic miracle and I would hold my children again."
"Everyone is special. We're all uniquely made, yet we don't know what we're being used for most of the time, especially when we're the final piece, the one unseen that plays an invisible role in a stranger's miracle, the coincidence, the happenstance, that if it didn't happen just exactly how it did, right down to the smallest fraction of a second, the hero wouldn't live."
"Like there is something I'm destined to do before my life is over?"
"Yeah."
"I don't have a clue, but I'm sure glad I'm alive. It's really nice to see you. I don't have the words to tell you how much I appreciate you being here right now."
"Your children will be here soon. Do you want me to get you some more water?"
"Yes, thank you, and thank you for the clothes. Do I look alright? I hope my scars don't scare them."
"You look just fine, and honestly, when you first smiled at me, your scars melted away."
