As Silence stares at the door,390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCiCY1v0Tk
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZSuZCvtld
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2L0ypXQIK
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUkzwulyXP
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MPLZ6rZTJ
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3AbYbFVfy
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0BVqI7juf
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19EHDVOs2c
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWUS8NZsOm
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixzaMhC49P
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn9nBOW297
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCajNYjPxXo
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG7GGL2Xqe
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVqVmbeSdT
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapuft8Aaot
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9zNEjhlzi
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 when390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTROC4v4l3X
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sxTw90fim
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXZkgAokYy
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpVl6BZTeD
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwGf7zblb2
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MLRRnpSyd
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrp62WG5UD
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 the390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMp3yqi3sS
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv7D0eT0zO
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBsFymMywx
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYec0FsU2f
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVycuHOLHt
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGPaLAHnpx
did not throw their orange pieces out of390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGMnGdUbn4
the window, and the old man told Silence 390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7mqLX189w
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBFH8Ad2tF
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64s56eIqL8
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk8PJqHscu
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wbp57qqNZ
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 at390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpomEJ5blh
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. The390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI0OvvfkWW
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLOMxP7imh
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe0HsmHgPr
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5QNoESgst
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYJjIxm8iu
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8OtVWb0uB
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bE45eadhI
man did390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz8M6Cbruk
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4Eb8XlZDA
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2msOgCDG6P
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.390Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyqh0I8uTq
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
