As Silence stares at the door,359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyMbMKXBVX
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcLQjQcydW
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWPpBLjXOY
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxocMjISjgo
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTUjTamOxB
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBHBnyA9mt
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArJrnS2CiN
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h2O8GkygL
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvxgtFizth
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF2mliT9SK
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNTcUlLNyX
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA7dmEdwqQ
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpSonriih1
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCyrHKpJPA
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OlM2AT3mM
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmFKHMygyi
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 when359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdtsxGff1t
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JjT4rtXEe
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGg2VPSN8Ij
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFf6oyxeUD
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTs26KEg9N0
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUGYZnGLvP
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXc32ZyaUO
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 the359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1p89W4eR8
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrDcZaNO4b
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxp2BWOGLD
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eJllbeDc7
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYCXrrxmAU
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk70Md05Tf
did not throw their orange pieces out of359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG9feFsiMK
the window, and the old man told Silence 359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCieP9P6SDS
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3s1hTPaP3
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxshUN7ccvz
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeFIaUy0XO
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2Fqbtxcmm
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 at359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkcrRmpp3P
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. The359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqEzGqmXBR
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡme5kEAtst8
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDIooMYeVf
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0VcZazMcZ
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaY4LVnwM1
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXg6JV3hgz
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1lOT22RiV
man did359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG7dX5aihl
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvHoZoJeaQ
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKafRNu4Wf5
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.359Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs9jiFixmX
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
