As Silence stares at the door,408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA9Njc4voL
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKc5HHojJL
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioBr6aW7xr
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5JyzREfv3
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP21MeRk7r
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFtRNEbklH
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY1s4tG5F3
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqZO4wWMim
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDanrSzdhmQ
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIjd9T5Hqd
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHnXi6ZqFc
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEoDKegTbn
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj0iMm59tn
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcDg1Q4v3d
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatMonw5971
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0tsyq5HI8
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 when408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpXzi4TPtX
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyvW2HUgWJ
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVplIH1c5K
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEETrzY0qd
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExWKzxHCkg
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVPCYCMOr4
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyhTmT6aFc
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 the408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl3KCe7EEc
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PfQ3CYRzj
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbCNAZJ5fE
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEheZkcJoR
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY3qiMPaKO
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jJZV9Eebe
did not throw their orange pieces out of408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHUO6ONnB6
the window, and the old man told Silence 408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcuaC3jy59
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KJgjlTBvb
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu6c7CD3sG
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdum68f3fES
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdPeGBwA3c
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 at408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhhmaNJFu8
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. The408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyntTQuPlS
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNSOEbRAee
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi81nPwiysV
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4zRksWdso
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQYzMlhrXg
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Pu25tQ29u
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqFOYKQZkx
man did408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJ9c9Q61HY
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxTrAwtFTb
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb7AwOKNqy
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.408Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3b93uorSOe
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
