As Silence stares at the door,334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuecAqgAHQ
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju3P9Fx8Wk
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5a8kPDb5Ln
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolBZV7cxH0
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgNXNqr7Gs
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWtqTX0tfi
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAjpfkbUir
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiNikRb8VV
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEsxjXGSDK
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnb2VsKS4T2
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37zZEmJ1s5
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegrEkO2Tt2
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2M9uw5kRt
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFJZNBmEN6
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWEofzW0E9
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN43Kuj9V1
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 when334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKRddyyxdG
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPV5IWHetKk
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mRiAM9Qap
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoSLs11ozy
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSibb0N0jW
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIwmTlH6zl
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKqRROk4Hq
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 the334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNYdiCseTs
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3gJaSm7Rj
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjURMSQHj4
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3zcRXMFXc
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGyI8QQv6e
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCLIenGPo7
did not throw their orange pieces out of334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0i8vwrf4r
the window, and the old man told Silence 334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVHqfTO5iG
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKQlJt8RgZ
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6DvqKY5ln
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pUNwvJu20
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQMenFlgrE
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 at334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TrSeb4Ydg
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. The334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUM7bDOruf
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQIoWvl9RO
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeke0LorcL
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBQyby4gZJ
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss1Cwq9BmJ
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUaD4wpRYX
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR2pERFD8k
man did334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErjPipIUw0
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPtP8bs7q6
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPkNPa61f0
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.334Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV8YTau1ee
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
