As Silence stares at the door,330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaXd266UN6
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUUdHzaZgw
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT5JyG7aLq
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QM4cvKlXs
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hdVt15yNw
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy4pUzwIi7
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bzXBR07Bu
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcQ1I2zv5r
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu1qKRyFU5
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81OnOcXQhD
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjPFtl2sn6
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWHczSwbQb
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUmHsoP64M
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZc1FFiUyJ
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgDSvwz5D0
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZfUf5TRCo
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 when330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWlsc2mwkL
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6VVzTIvJU
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf0xxgCadF
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKlQB9KXkj
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnEoOqPuP2
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jgkzwq84u
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NbkJNqhQq
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 the330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS3UFXWXv5
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bxFlLjAdU
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnXZzPOJLQ
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlGJszNuQz
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrgjtdqU7d
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeDjqjxw5C
did not throw their orange pieces out of330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZecFP7wic
the window, and the old man told Silence 330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BC32QznYa
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOlRWwxBfh
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12lVpSt1ML
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5etGWNNLox
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKZJsZDYpe
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 at330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFayhoA2aI
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. The330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrxPKOUzVR
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouo9IDlqat
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7upqekvt2
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gSNRf7Y9g
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtggTa7Zoc
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEqC3Iy7RP
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxX3KgSWmJr
man did330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQAaDboB67
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLozHybZoAE
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysl7WXWNjt
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.330Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacwHZRgVw8
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
