As Silence stares at the door,331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVukcIBVYr
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzp1lHNlXz
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXmmLFb36w
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchy9tsO4xA
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq9akBPm2p
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJCMeTYAE1
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmTBgtl3OD
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjZrGdHLBS
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8sfUlSupZ
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo2wtZncDN
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68TdnN8n1v
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR6qhz1aDv
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X76gn6M5i
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKNSVg0nCR
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzV7EEbLqO
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkQmrq3GbU
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 when331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNygdJQ9nH1
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1HDm292qA
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaDmuSpkiK
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMZc3Z4G2A
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvBzfGRClU
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLOooHff5X
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nHuNDQIbv
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 the331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A2RUNGUwo
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21oBPaJJfn
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9hroeH5HO
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqfRYHkulE
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfrHM482Ce
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhG8SzTKpT
did not throw their orange pieces out of331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32P4P1jn47
the window, and the old man told Silence 331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2gxUh08gK
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmVOsp5Avv
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpF15NIkxX
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU3ERWpfTM
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0tlmH3Jso
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 at331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItQauCeGZz
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. The331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDst6ApG7YZ
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3Ktc6Jv1T
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA3hE6dESz
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYpjxG2WZu
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ530oyrHJxV
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMUIPQIWr8
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLkD1MlUIx
man did331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzp9qSrWAr
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoXeN9rX7j
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNd5gu6qH3
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.331Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCLBH4c13v
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
