As Silence stares at the door,355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76A3WOc6gY
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnylwzeQ9AV
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa5zHxnR8M
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLiw0MXDb4
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZEwyHA7Xi
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtaMiUpgA9
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmDp4ym7bT
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkoXExqmwO
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkwjov7kIi
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAre755ylt
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA83AACYiqr
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWrRZDZjkb
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vdvJ91xID
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFLUmP3Imv
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IQvtPOppI
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOZyNoiLNQ
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 when355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymH4PE6iMe
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToP8O3ir3K
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAHfPmadyf
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiXsAffpDr
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RqUh4MZ2w
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl2WORCUBI
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FZU4re9Av
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 the355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bFQeiRmaq
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsIE1Va3rS
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fhJBe237g
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2W2opVJJZ
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6DtE51TNq
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07ZnvLMs23
did not throw their orange pieces out of355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtus0hcA4pb
the window, and the old man told Silence 355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIiWv4qVhj
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJmxslIWud
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp80BIt0Tdc
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghWZJQjnhu
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBZkdiJOFA
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 at355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQxkLlMLHc
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. The355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPwguMtr5s
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATsCzLmSp9
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjucUcIuyA
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRqnI0LCGE
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcXntpz71o
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIVsXbjTti
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqflGx94jnV
man did355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F9Gr6UFxU
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf5vDKmOeh
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTPy9UzX5S
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.355Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UmmKsrA3z
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
