As Silence stares at the door,132Please respect copyright.PENANAeHAuQJuVWw
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they132Please respect copyright.PENANADbru2QqbDt
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine132Please respect copyright.PENANAodKaXu7tQ4
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,132Please respect copyright.PENANAISO81Ij5DL
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where132Please respect copyright.PENANA0bnyzALnAu
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence132Please respect copyright.PENANAvP0bwOWhJG
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before132Please respect copyright.PENANAIflUFdg0vs
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are132Please respect copyright.PENANATTMGfV7sVD
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took132Please respect copyright.PENANAJUlonvHXGa
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 132Please respect copyright.PENANA6z8T2PE0mp
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn132Please respect copyright.PENANAHhzb2D5fqb
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him132Please respect copyright.PENANAIyI2yRmN8p
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one132Please respect copyright.PENANAiLexzJCVTG
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out132Please respect copyright.PENANAIEsFOuEDq5
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is132Please respect copyright.PENANArTWfihTqKP
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red132Please respect copyright.PENANAonFQeFLC5J
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 when132Please respect copyright.PENANAEfVYmebRmP
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very132Please respect copyright.PENANAvnGu9EdSqW
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind132Please respect copyright.PENANASPugayDiOG
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like132Please respect copyright.PENANAivORoh3IOV
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The132Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZWmz15Bq2
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a132Please respect copyright.PENANAQL49NHskDw
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed132Please respect copyright.PENANA5W5aNYz22i
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 the132Please respect copyright.PENANAPgM0yrhU80
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with132Please respect copyright.PENANAN00sH5apzg
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that132Please respect copyright.PENANAUiiUSxSxnK
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and132Please respect copyright.PENANAtUQcIkfBHd
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not132Please respect copyright.PENANAd2j5MsaAfF
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence132Please respect copyright.PENANAfu3dHy0Xe3
did not throw their orange pieces out of132Please respect copyright.PENANAnmVQaTPNCW
the window, and the old man told Silence 132Please respect copyright.PENANAMdPwwKrWvm
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman132Please respect copyright.PENANAgfrm8YyMVl
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.132Please respect copyright.PENANASkNriSOBy7
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey132Please respect copyright.PENANAt5zzj31hsf
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.132Please respect copyright.PENANAYwkC6OMCjg
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 at132Please respect copyright.PENANAm1Nnp6OSd5
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. The132Please respect copyright.PENANA8U2VGeUS4Y
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching132Please respect copyright.PENANAz7dosNOLT9
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin132Please respect copyright.PENANArda2nij2pB
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children132Please respect copyright.PENANAi60oCX666f
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,132Please respect copyright.PENANA1VpSkjZa7G
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their132Please respect copyright.PENANAf97npzzRTU
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old132Please respect copyright.PENANAfXZaSPrz4u
man did132Please respect copyright.PENANA2KatadqFdA
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car132Please respect copyright.PENANAGhV64FRBoF
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about132Please respect copyright.PENANAclJFhRmLcH
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.132Please respect copyright.PENANAjAmt5Jcd9y
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
