As Silence stares at the door,272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpy47O4XMh
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD9ugR1XU3
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpcrU66EDj
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFqIeBFYHT
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXqtUqTO9g
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdOv4MvZmp
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekHaAxSOWu
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvzN4A0Wwq
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy78isKLAoa
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzuCp8dB4U
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LB5xGGQZU
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYioS2OtsHD
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFI7JJ1lpC
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpVLJJkHd8
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3SWtpBT6L
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVnA0gE2CF
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 when272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Mi8KlqLyd
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5YzkUNMV2
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWq6T8RkQH
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM84df7IT76
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8j9e7B2xmP
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxmhlTN6cE
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymLcxSku45
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 the272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwdOJjEZKk
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D4FwKnxy3
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9U7s3k4Py
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9343mIf6t
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XLHbSxLxW
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgBZsngFxp
did not throw their orange pieces out of272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h0J8zgprc
the window, and the old man told Silence 272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6BYtTgDOU
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHWGX9SOn6
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjmRV7lpI3
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCUTzpucRb
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMWRu5f1SK
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 at272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXh5G8Naiy
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. The272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHyYaHLZbS
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMzPc8gIdf
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvubRDMiY7
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlolWtFqnk9
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs5GY1PKeG
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKfVWeN8gI
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmfELqFREZ
man did272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvAbQY36ip
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NlO6TTJCW
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk6ucSYBUD
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h9z45UUq0
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
