As Silence stares at the door,333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQ0AkHHA0c
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RyrAd8kc3
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TeLZZow2v
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczDxCFlXDL
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGngqDQOcA8
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdqE2LrlxU
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafAOR1NRVF
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHMyp8F7XJ
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAfTSl2iFn
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOXcO5KpZU
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMk12LfhCi
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7XyQJdJDo
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXogmjiJUdy
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17B2gEqPXK
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnE1vpRbbv
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDr6LLVEIs
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 when333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph1H7RhwbD
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1Q1j3xRvQ
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqco9Dx6LF0
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xgWVv1rNC
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXsUwUccPg
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s1I08YfWR
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHLNQd6urp
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 the333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNGvcqVLot
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGIBjh5T34
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhizeMWT6O
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoBA9QaX42
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CSfF9qoTD
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXzUJOw31B
did not throw their orange pieces out of333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8BG0tI8n3
the window, and the old man told Silence 333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FlS8YlvY7
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm32DVeK32B
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaa57W2MBJ
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zAlwEVEzJ
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwxJarXRM7
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 at333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP1X5mXCAe
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. The333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVu62nwVpI
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqV3CyDeKyn
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34Y08YuOT8
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB6VRzrE5e
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE4EFxmdY1
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsOtGOG1i4
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqva47pi3bp
man did333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcugnJ2Gkwl
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmF2G6JsEP3
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTHECBsChN
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.333Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT6ISDi6sg
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
