As Silence stares at the door,305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jYDfg1VDR
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpLKiW3a9D
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVtmeTAmPD
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYKBFe5nA1
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuQ9axpLnd
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHREQyf52XB
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u1WrWjsTk
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgIYjHnjxQ
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhJPlbja5i
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzKDXZYibV
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0l2TTF4Oh
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmWHvb0OLz
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLtsuW5J7R
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlbwhHsXf2
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcMcKgSg0B
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWz5E6rw8D
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 when305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSFxm7ejnb
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3SvKI4Hbn
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqD0ajvbNb
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUu5bqQ9Wv
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQ47u98mso
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh1mppk3Mw
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLOKAuPX7w
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 the305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsuAxOBzeO
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfDQM5St3w
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PG2KkqvL4
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIew6E7qBsr
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9VLXxJSra
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS4FyfYSe6
did not throw their orange pieces out of305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGunmFwA7y
the window, and the old man told Silence 305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xmlXr0aMH
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvy4DWmFqpy
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04JYmp4Gpy
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVafSrPPFx5
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pH2tA4Zhb
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 at305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoWcoutNID
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. The305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybgc5P1lAs
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH7uGBd3YZ
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRf3bQ5V3c
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a0V6IhQhr
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cIwd6Bb3u
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPBIS9i9nz
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHpA1YFTyN
man did305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6Ax8xU0o1
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65UNsDypWi
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnbBrbFFuF
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.305Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLr3XldtkT
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
