As Silence stares at the door,421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAMGt2dVgh
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB2wmSaqkq
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4If6pPsENB
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGY6Q5YMXc
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1A1VHaqP7
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHfyuJcKBz
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdu3S1GiVjl
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsbr2n4LAt
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdY0rXso2Xf
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqhu3o4xnk
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3CIG47Gu9
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZtmmSiHLf
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzfzFnDkuG
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcD6kurAyk
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXqmnfnP7w
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotoE7PqJtq
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 when421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3L1ycUxZW
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfwghksOHR
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJe1miSaXC
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGP7D4qVIE
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKo7V4gMDfl
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJbiFcjbzR
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn88WrMwXt
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 the421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXRFkaQIWG
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFlA713sap
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfb0rzp1PH7
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iDNqI41Pm
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVymBXN27l
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpvnsD3fuJ
did not throw their orange pieces out of421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaB5i0eho4
the window, and the old man told Silence 421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5w9DZKT7rW
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz41x299BQ
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIi70lEQ8Mw
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiB5KSxBlAC
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPa6T7wrrUq
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 at421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbID6HBXwsH
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. The421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV737Osfio
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHf0BQ08SK
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEWcuMCmMN
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q066wXxjH
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BlQldzEuv
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH7vm1v03C
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahuxOPlfvm
man did421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNfANIle8G
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZhkIglCX6
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHn61BrSmk6
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9W61Of39e
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
