As Silence stares at the door,426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ40Ev8RNB
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybZbGZRiEn
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyzMqCMmZ6
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9wTtANdSh
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EAPIRJugZ
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ995XWO0SZM
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx64ggUl1md
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxrVunEnBi
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfDg7Zarrj
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0bCgw1AQy
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW4UfSA8tr
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS66Ar0WCyJ
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjQjNcMkXS
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18uUoCgsct
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz2b60IzXA
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlSJGWHrXo
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 when426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX381KP7KG
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTaXofe5QT
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWKKSHF2eH
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhSM4eNQgO
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7jwXeIO0r
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZeupmS73P
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrsQvpsoI6
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 the426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJT86nysLc
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeqxfIlkuB
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShkumg4qNP
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOzlifaPIs
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX4IE12uRl
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z65Pv9r8x
did not throw their orange pieces out of426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiJR0k5HEY
the window, and the old man told Silence 426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZPKaYCFnm
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXGWhy7ZQi
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKSdKUITrz
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnv3IcxXCZ
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn31HUDcrQ
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 at426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIiSX0sGhV
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. The426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktd6n98RuV
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiuUq4bDW7
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzawiSejCD
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOFDdbuNFd
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvdifN7fHq
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj6y5arSBb
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBZmSIJRFu
man did426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtypdIfkOB
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB8pwD1h2C
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTznUVLAHQN
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZMP0iUFlp
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
