As Silence stares at the door,403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfMSyY35lv
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Kim9gBNcm
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GGhmfKS8s
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkqFG8vuNN
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXmoOkaoj2
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1HqO3ssfh
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Xgl17matS
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFMPCswnRD
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzkPjIhczM
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1s1Xt6e9n
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfksIL3W8q
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSGOHdIy0w
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDLUSYiIub
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnttzDGktm
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJgO5x36us
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT0nWrcReQ
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 when403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hrwrPhss1
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8pAWMs58s
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9WBrq7yJb
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb92Vu7gHY
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlABm03nxLf
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kevgyDYQi
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEmVRtbbGy
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 the403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dBDP30Wj8
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WaxnPUvvw
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTlTJoeGpJ
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahBifcOI72
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzwXSVuzmL
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iDgwDJ41V
did not throw their orange pieces out of403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k032iu1Dh
the window, and the old man told Silence 403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFdycjydzv
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS5E8aMPeR
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BaHVB1Q15
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNgTdWnpnU
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCePJvKgHLl
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 at403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtJdUEBb6A
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. The403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKNaY34yNq
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotnmLvKn1o
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGQmwORM2b
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZYmtz1Wzw
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazxvoP87lt
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQrT0A24uN
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY06iYJzjbI
man did403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04lTnoLkoV
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1wogrrmSJ
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkYFMXL37D
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.403Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5a9QAxOtU
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
