As Silence stares at the door,386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73KTKjayQ3
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsi5MPc1wS
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIw5J7Jcrj
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R9qQiMFWP
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAT8Hd3xMj
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3Y9Crfqwi
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgd9xXa2WdB
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPoUd9tXEV
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJtc871CFS
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsD2OzKihO
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzGV6XmBxd
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQtdXkYr6o
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjkZunWKFN
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79ZoWyrugp
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSr7InlOAF
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQI5CNfPQM
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 when386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8fbGkWgsh
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAZR8v5w9B
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYf5s8Ak1k
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2rFnUQ4sw
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPENwYlchFf
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9OcG6Ct7Q
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4NhNx5Sks
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 the386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k49bIrU88
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF2EUbI7Zp
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhCn3vGhOX
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwKLLDML7o
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJMoyd2YP9
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy70L7J93zW
did not throw their orange pieces out of386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61iiklML9a
the window, and the old man told Silence 386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsjnyVzdmt
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIqCuAofR4
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOCR3Qb8F0
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnglYMjglZ
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDkjOgw6bS
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 at386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLxlhzgG4o
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. The386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoWb4QbpEd
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaijsZGtHFa
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrMrcgq9gs
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm56wQGiaC
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvtvUfeW24
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlXKlrIilq
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAKUiZHalx
man did386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Lzr418kaW
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23PqcoTgHQ
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiZmgaVMPZ
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.386Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSWtEW85Kb
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
