As Silence stares at the door,402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNn57pmE9R
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GlKgkWLcs
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ282K5qyO9u
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrWfQrkVu3
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfM4mOYb5I
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77buHWoLZU
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz2BKrwz5L
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerWGqr9M5P
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcj3NF4699
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6AFylnWuf
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FBHWTgn4K
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6USIkcxW1w
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJW4n5alkJ
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1RkuDS422
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82fX9rYYO5
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYkyGWWEO9
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 when402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttiDDp9GNY
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi8uqExOIy
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5LInDGbFL
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMphSLjkqp
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr16oC2qjT
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVUtG5wiYP
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17oAnVMLjr
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 the402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4n927xHLS
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoJmombvpP
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNIlHxuRrl
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkj8yjosAG
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrym74abrui
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnztAOqfPh
did not throw their orange pieces out of402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43bblbzb8L
the window, and the old man told Silence 402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYjCq3IZU3
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3OCezSvTy
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxYS8L0oIX
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhXnzoyTbn
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOQ8IzkZLg
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 at402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnE4rAsyQO
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. The402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJHQSnRynW
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PszECxvRV
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNOCXumn2r
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbq7Ykhiq4
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrmtqireBS
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGobYxnwGT
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEcc6zlYRo
man did402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ0kIYwyZu
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS5S1Lej8r
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy8UOoGB8O
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.402Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNcCgW5hqh
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
