As Silence stares at the door,310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYdqs470tw
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFnCmYHSZn
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu6k6rU2bQ
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfIbH9DwRe
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrX1s4nC3i
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLai5xzWWt
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArcb74w0jL
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpVT30wIfe
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ua7nXRdc7
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA2CFKrBRO
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9TyjesEje
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMcdEFFrBn
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskP4n1cZXG
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dNv1e0aSY
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZxJb7BJj1
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSE2qHgogU
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 when310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEZYO3HIlr
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxu2HQwPfI6
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBdGmVFDmE
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYLaW7F2AP
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VjM21PSwX
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivJ72ID5Cm
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYKtJAap55
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 the310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWzDbUzH7m
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLh0bTRbh0
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFNALqUZws
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXC0iWUwS3
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB3mtraaK7
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0N5X9sNST
did not throw their orange pieces out of310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC9d0HZEWT
the window, and the old man told Silence 310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTQCFWqO5h
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMg7masA4Q
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf29sboVej5
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT8NO4huJ4
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM9imfIUmg
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 at310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9llsp3QUmO
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. The310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFFly8VBdf
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mNKKiwUpD
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwNeTX6WhM
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtjnqTwifp
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wYyDlBVSj
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCiJdngojy
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PmLfQvLwa
man did310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPgie2JXnX
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIikjoRuxvw
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckXLxMbNCr
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.310Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjl6uYkPGc
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
