As Silence stares at the door,306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1hpmym2op
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDWxnN0tGc
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFj76y9xyi
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FrtoFiWXu
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZvrROOgPk
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOsLVaujYf
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65uy3YszFe
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwARFMgJUF
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AGihXcggA
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZcoZZ5qGV
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5g21cYgOM
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAkOsNNd2M
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDzCuwVdMc
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee1UnUK4yq
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI9MGAP3Ig
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA1ExcO49G
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 when306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmHbJCF2Ef
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRcVGvXrwm
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklrImCWdra
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrGgyKI0v6
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSDYrWWhM8
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3ahgLuwLj
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrrbkFKz97
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 the306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dn2IhPU6j
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ElF10Z4oJ
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl048a685nT
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuS9PXR1wB
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn9nbgIO2a
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaEpcJHXCy
did not throw their orange pieces out of306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazHpxwsTXu
the window, and the old man told Silence 306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZsxVZXJmC
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKNDrM6RlP
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumAJW6TqaN
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszbTceXQiG
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K0Iqn3g5O
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 at306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyzfUrU4dW
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. The306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPy5B701qfP
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKmKeU9pP3
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X3593eSFh
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoWDcEuHw8
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB0VPNWHMo
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6NN7rfRNL
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiH6rtDgQM
man did306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz3yhzC5wh
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KJ7k9D4EH
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR33hzxemZE
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.306Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zd0vGU745
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
