As Silence stares at the door,270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKch2E91G6
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhg0jcEyh5
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuis0sG5UIP
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIpUon24ka
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKbj96O7kI
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnSdZO5z3c
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnbkoDAowv
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOqxGcq228
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7juq4kN3Ag
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswDlmzyxQQ
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y04Uwfmnc
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5sDwO4UGP
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeYmhYmdeN
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsnnVQKv23
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUu4DY3QC7
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvImeaOxhN
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 when270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yQPSgkMOv
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkJN41QFio
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZZIYSNUox
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznKf1zRh4Q
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu829GXNjY
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptHmE6oud0
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOzI5RYKvL
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 the270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKvV3LSTCz
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNMjedky80
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj1CJPrDFG
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfgo3u21LR
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX56REXxS2L
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRYILkcHmR
did not throw their orange pieces out of270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLijNNJBag
the window, and the old man told Silence 270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWVUoJkHQl
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSUZSAmpXU
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwftFsQ1u0
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gNhd01Ocx
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvThSkBkEPw
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 at270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2YOdqGwlZ
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. The270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuGLeS45km
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPcZS58Ylq
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb35Xj22pS
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmY9HlnWib
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQUHFTX1PZ
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ5NS6zPnT
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0Av8f7d6J
man did270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmUvCHwJdH
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vRF0ej5Od
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsbGkbckdB
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiH9gm4b7j
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
