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.
