As Silence stares at the door,648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bHhvhT8yg
another memory echoes in the long hallway. Before they can annotate it, they648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbrr8D8P1k
are distracted by the dolls that stand alongside the walls. There are nine648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtnZT5GJ9Q
dolls, impressive in size and moulded in milk.
The dolls are red of hair that falls down gaunt necks, and on their hands,648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkYaCA3VGk
Silence sees elongated fingers. Silence does not yearn to see the finger where648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3qictQmqX
the ring sits. They do not wish to comprehend the dolls further, and so Silence648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0FNAv2Too
turns away.
In the recollection, Silence is perhaps a child of seven. They stand before648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ2e9eSW8Y
a door, too slight to reach the white doorbell with the black button. There are648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs82uL6kbN
two other people with Silence. The boy has black hair, and it is messy; he took648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7E39OWsPI
a nap in the car that had not seemed very restful to Silence. The boy has 648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXZPxmVZBy
green eyes that glittered with something that Silence would soon learn648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36vue6Veq4
to hate.
The other is an old man. Silence decided he was old when they first met him648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlmuTxhQZA
because the man has to walk with a stick. And he was very slow. The man has one648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG4b89Bql1
hand on the suitcase with faded butterfly stickers and the other stretching out648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1hUljBbgs
for the bell that Silence is too slight to reach.
Nothing happens inside the redbrick house for a moment, and then the door is648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfphDvXaQ9r
pulled open. Silence and the boy stare at the woman with milk-like skin, red648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHC2gf67kr
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 when648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5catBlwL01
she spoke to Silence, she did not like children of their so-called gender very648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHsOhw5BSY
much.
The old man says a few words to the woman and turns, leaving Silence behind648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuQ78dWjFb
him to be ushered inside by the woman with milk skin.
Apprehension, then foreign to little Silence, fills Silence like648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTujPtY08U
butterflies, and leap around like butterflies do when caught in a net. The648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjOuRdxGFF
butterflies leap ever frantically as sharp vocal urgings, push Silence into a648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lvT6QVUnV
room with a mirror with gold trim and two nightstands of mahogany, and a bed648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9JLVOr93V
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 the648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1mQxtPFJC
recollection where they felt hungry. There was someone else in the house with648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLTh9es0WG
the old woman; another person bigger than Silence. She was milk of skin, but with blonde hair that648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2gFQ8pdeH
bounced about in curly springs.
Before the old man had left Silence behind, he had given both the boy and648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazjEavqoDK
Silence a snack of popcorn and orange slice, to eat in the car. The boy did not648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93wJrNdE2B
like oranges and had thrown the four pieces of orange from the window. Silence648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz73Ysyiig
did not throw their orange pieces out of648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1nARe2CHR
the window, and the old man told Silence 648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd0XLl9qqJ
they were very good and the boy was very bad.
Silence walks into the great room where the old woman and the other woman648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCspwNd8kEu
sit in arm chairs and watch the television. The women are watching Shrek.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFO3yJMjqC
Silence knows they are watching Shrek because there is a green man, a donkey648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNBRFOe0qy
and a pink dragon.
Silence was not hungry in the car, but now the feel their stomach gurgle.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Kt2bNUqtv
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 at648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem7AuT2B2B
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. The648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX0Xha7aCh
woman with red hair is on her feet now and stands over Silence, before reaching648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWulmsRbfQa
down to snatch at the snack.
Silence blinks four times as they watch the old woman lumber toward the bin648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8n3BPjx6C
and throw away the food. The one older than Silence, snaps that good children648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQrBzDvRz4
should always ask for things, and that their mum, who, must be the old woman,648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz2kQVCBrJ
does not believe that children need to have snacks.
The memory begins to roll away. Silence returns To their648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SoxsBwLMu
room where they sit stripped of clothing and pride, and remembers how the old648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pKBSUJt2Z
man did648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62ugxNtZu1
not take anything from Silence, when the boy threw his snack out of the car648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20QXk4IteR
window. The old man had told Silence they were very good. Then, the think about648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa2eRU5EFR
how the old woman snatched away the orange slices, and threw them in the bin.648Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzxF0XGtO7
Silence realises that really, they must be very bad.
