As Silence stares at the door,419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuPz2R9zaL
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTjIcgMYWT
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddPH9Ko57x
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0YvVt8nBg
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3wCfOb0Dt
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDXHTMiKqH
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdTh1CLuxc
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ307mjRnu8g
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeGzlULvwZ
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjft1Wo6CMJ
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghjiggfEhJ
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGcOh26H4f
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDMgDygYRM
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ424Y2P52G
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXNLXaakCc
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8vQs4vqEa
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 when419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B4Z9BaLXk
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnDGtAXquC
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT42NndmkZb
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMHbYnQlBo
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSXvTUlQ6I
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv9do4h593
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVYdjYX8o7
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 the419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3GEHsuZFu
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9Luv81v2u
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UlvsMG5cn
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetCduIdHLX
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTaWZvADXA
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLxMVJ7Hne
did not throw their orange pieces out of419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnI1Od7wn45
the window, and the old man told Silence 419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJP0l1jMZO
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5qjN4JahA
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkyxOADjqo
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNn7lJ8Md3
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5NuAqF3Em
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 at419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr9G2w0W0s
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. The419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56JsLPNQf8
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFa5iZOus6
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8figgpn7pE
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F6r4rGGwh
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu4nxsyCkt
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yjibc1nDZ
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z6bBC2Iju
man did419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYMo672xsf
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAiFUKG4eq
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ4PBGLPGW
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.419Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGATshGSxKc
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
