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.
