As Silence stares at the door,244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssc2sdzJhI
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuI19G12NI
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI54CDbXLoe
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Erz7uNjnw
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzS52RdnXcN
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudnBrIrpQt
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWgSVddDHX
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LHlSAJsAs
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4P2ZmCTZ1
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo9VpXv5mw
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpw92jLOK9
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a6lenrIcB
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvk8OhJCRIU
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgRhs46VRG
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWLiq981uv
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwBC3U8lGq
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 when244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GuxfdbZQc
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh6RB72oSa
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTijA0Eryo
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X771XVSra
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemegjphiH1
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm7eTXlm7A
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqmGf4PrLA
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 the244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZcaiAFU2i
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJ9pJid7EG
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpgC8Vs83I
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnPs6ff3pq
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9eckNZbhw
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArRZDQTQgz
did not throw their orange pieces out of244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjoJsvXAvK
the window, and the old man told Silence 244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4RnZ3jLir
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHkLtOm6fy
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv2aZyXh6Q
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVoR9g0iWe
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCJIHWK69I
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 at244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxIPoV187L
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. The244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6jFjtFAei
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK85XCKpKM
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqEDxeFJC0
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkbbr7hD2T
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWDaSKjKT4
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r2Px5IAkb
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9jIPYBcp3
man did244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcvjLww4DC
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdemWZikp7I
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKgK5Ki5tn
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.244Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqPy0xsRq5
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
