As Silence stares at the door,379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY62UbERiE
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBPGQHX0T1
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5ulS7T4Is
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqF6SmZyAj
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AxiSIFsfv
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIGC7aRZis
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl2UOSz6XO
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6BK3OGg6q
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ae0Y497yx
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZKx4ZdfQJ
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE7Hg40URe
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqyxASWhcF
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhefyonpwNH
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS79Q3GIMv
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwneGDYAQU
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClN6O2XkBY
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 when379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW7mvxHikm
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPSfzXXsjo
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡho3SFHM40u
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Bm7Zl3G4J
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYyhVDu5uj
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9481RJadjw
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAVgWF3Ww1
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 the379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tmfThYQTI
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zLsvhKDhZ
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaliUMSBKgb
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRGQ35aEdh
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZq57pDwcC
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YjoC2wEBb
did not throw their orange pieces out of379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMfOke2ECz
the window, and the old man told Silence 379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQREFxOfCJK
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN77PiUUrsC
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIzQFfnCVb
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdImT19Ahg
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3lcvBAoZy
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 at379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqteFUnnYN
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. The379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9f1k6oex3
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDCOGQse65
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGvkEaRhjf
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdbxP3RlKY
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCU1khiTbb
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6iInFPy0ih
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCpK46fyHQ
man did379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblXxpxLiJk
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGUHj2r6vg
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVCfUlpjl4
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.379Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHYNd4QzKn
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
