As Silence stares at the door,365Please respect copyright.PENANAEJAHo04GiN
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they365Please respect copyright.PENANA8x3KfrNWnG
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine365Please respect copyright.PENANAtIa67Yd64m
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,365Please respect copyright.PENANAe3m6zTXfkD
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where365Please respect copyright.PENANAaK06tbg5Fo
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence365Please respect copyright.PENANAUX0GsPls7i
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before365Please respect copyright.PENANAGUDQ6FRDBJ
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are365Please respect copyright.PENANArNQsal5Ofw
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took365Please respect copyright.PENANAcwXGCaXCs8
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 365Please respect copyright.PENANACwGmsGJT9b
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn365Please respect copyright.PENANArhXeIXtdgo
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him365Please respect copyright.PENANAe1tpUg20cv
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one365Please respect copyright.PENANAp7Dzo949u4
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out365Please respect copyright.PENANAPYbdR55Wg1
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is365Please respect copyright.PENANA15MlPayEK4
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red365Please respect copyright.PENANAvOc4aafqN7
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 when365Please respect copyright.PENANAbqXZ2aqBad
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very365Please respect copyright.PENANAD97DYsW9YU
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind365Please respect copyright.PENANAh4y9Ul1XXs
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like365Please respect copyright.PENANADzGSrAKzGG
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The365Please respect copyright.PENANAx0y11h7UR2
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a365Please respect copyright.PENANAd7PVD3Wod8
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed365Please respect copyright.PENANA7vL0V5B9Y7
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 the365Please respect copyright.PENANAxIRNeMw9Re
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with365Please respect copyright.PENANA6JpDaPhZRV
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that365Please respect copyright.PENANAdBqdMgcevQ
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and365Please respect copyright.PENANApFGQ3qT90P
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not365Please respect copyright.PENANA2SOlAmJfQE
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence365Please respect copyright.PENANAQASczYjtfN
did not throw their orange pieces out of365Please respect copyright.PENANAwbMiy125KM
the window, and the old man told Silence 365Please respect copyright.PENANANtIV4GiYsF
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman365Please respect copyright.PENANAkowcdzQn2t
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.365Please respect copyright.PENANAc9RLmqA67U
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey365Please respect copyright.PENANAUF8KmXDUuB
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.365Please respect copyright.PENANAiaNUKj0rxP
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 at365Please respect copyright.PENANAAyFz7MlIix
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. The365Please respect copyright.PENANARWvi5ZmU4O
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching365Please respect copyright.PENANAcnnNmdwD8b
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin365Please respect copyright.PENANAJzbVtwct9z
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children365Please respect copyright.PENANA3NgUd4cJQF
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,365Please respect copyright.PENANAWW99KRLfFG
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their365Please respect copyright.PENANApJMwrraAAj
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old365Please respect copyright.PENANAdVzWfk5hWd
man did365Please respect copyright.PENANAALR9pjgIAi
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car365Please respect copyright.PENANACEPnCSC25r
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about365Please respect copyright.PENANAzqktPxJJ9w
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.365Please respect copyright.PENANAAQl33bHYdX
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
