As Silence stares at the door,245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JOE7HwH23
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRdhMqVSav
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj933PIuRFQ
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VsRjN5K7g
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiFrxZD2cw
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIU0djjjUDV
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiAAj5ONng
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY3AeNViGC
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGfp2JL744
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32WUV5ZLJp
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbdaBMDWuI
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2HodMWveE
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvdtr7PhYy
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlwG9t7ceX
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Rvn8IHYXv
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lHzsRxmo6
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 when245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWXvEBcqjk
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBrHKLes2r
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnJTZlUsMO
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67u0MfX4zK
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvnyCjrNTW
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e6tEcM7dS
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdUEWLdaIA
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 the245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17kQvk8gF1
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVuzZZbTQi
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NWSZs9itS
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h31xzAFqT
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVf3vogMwX
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnahR180Y0
did not throw their orange pieces out of245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AU2pVRDDC
the window, and the old man told Silence 245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0vq1T4YqN
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7W1I1YQsI
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNEouKHz3t
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4CQJDi7Xp
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KwTv1mvT0
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 at245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE2ss0ETZu
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. The245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAlRNn5f2M
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsOvbEXM2q
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEzrUlpNz3
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9yx9ho7Nd
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaD7CJEAR8
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9PZlcwCWk
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Fh0SREYaR
man did245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjYFD0bYez
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAC9yo4eG8t
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEeB4GrVuK
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.245Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYW84AIHpS
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
