As Silence stares at the door,424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbpZwwQtfM
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1g5Vm6mYS
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIduFsS2u12
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJ0ccj4XHs
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUY9lS0tFT
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj9xwo3tvi
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsKHUhRnCZ
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF6CosWsFV
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBI1oY8g80
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0uSkvPtDK
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSc7ecoJyD
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgsaaXBMjq
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpowIE0Fmgx
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4wZfalNvw
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzacXGVqjv9
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRBmPYD9bx
hair and gaunt fingers. They take in the gold ring and large diamond.
Silence cannot recall if the woman spoke to the boy, but it seems that when424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83OYHGnR4f
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRzTfZRZgn
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnfmuPVGm4
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ356ndk6J8t
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH5MaXjE9y
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPajVskVUK5
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2v0lNq8rw
with a soft green blanket.
There were no toys. It does not seem to be a room for children.
Silence allows time to roll forward just slightly. To a place in the424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pNhCuLc2n
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1G4cQkWKF
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3FBS0Ch6P
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnLKRBiwBp
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFwhO1ZbJO
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFlV1bZLgN
did not throw their orange pieces out of424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM7upmpVf9
the window, and the old man told Silence 424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqV5Dop2ED
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9E1xDZfRd
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfYLY47p5a
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EiB5rxEP2
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3TTSjjkwK
They sit on the floor in a space without carpet, and begin to eat.
The woman with the blonde hair that bounced like springs looks over at424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFVrg8kMnK
Silence, she sees the food, becomes very angry and starts to yell.
The old woman also starts to yell. It all seems very peculiar to Silence. The424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6SualJSU7
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx3F0uA57x
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjPMOk1cIV
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEg82lWdxA
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG8bRUEKFf
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2JJjYCJ7u
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEexUcFBeP3
man did424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRwQTKP2hy
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3y3lGDLcL
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlTf0E6GBB
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtleFTCGcvJ
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
