I have worked in this house many years, in the house I cooked dinner, I washed clothes, I lived. I did
everything here. In fact, this is the only place I have ever been. I have never left it in my nine years of life.895Please respect copyright.PENANAg9AizdxHou
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to895Please respect copyright.PENANAFVsoYhkJw3
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.895Please respect copyright.PENANAGqTCYxz2wr
I am sure none of this is true. Why is the door locked with a steel chain? Why is a servant positioned there every
night? There must be a secret behind that door, whether good or bad, I have sworn to figure it out.895Please respect copyright.PENANAd5WOENOIZi
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!895Please respect copyright.PENANA0t1aFOAs2N
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.895Please respect copyright.PENANAnruM65Nws5
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.895Please respect copyright.PENANALIDeJHyBfY
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.895Please respect copyright.PENANALLZijK2hHr
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,895Please respect copyright.PENANAAP1SwKfrVo
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.895Please respect copyright.PENANAJTmWU9ymQI
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!895Please respect copyright.PENANAQf2GDjeNJd
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you895Please respect copyright.PENANAYQd56vehcg
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.895Please respect copyright.PENANAMgWP4Y5ATa
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.895Please respect copyright.PENANAzTqaIjsVTP
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!895Please respect copyright.PENANAAMkkNn5vNi
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.895Please respect copyright.PENANAdd4pR5veLh
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.895Please respect copyright.PENANAa6oohlMLb9
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.895Please respect copyright.PENANADpdxEgbIBP
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being895Please respect copyright.PENANA6zjNkp9W9X
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.895Please respect copyright.PENANAjm1QrRm46h
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.895Please respect copyright.PENANA5hW12EXgBN
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what895Please respect copyright.PENANAC4RYrrIn0w
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.895Please respect copyright.PENANAF6y2XoLojf
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.895Please respect copyright.PENANAq6Wz9VGvgZ
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably895Please respect copyright.PENANA7VFGeoRoUI
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two895Please respect copyright.PENANAwiWSsEGjq2
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.895Please respect copyright.PENANAaMK06EwbEH
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the895Please respect copyright.PENANAiUtpSJIKHa
door at the end of the hall.895Please respect copyright.PENANAKHa9xAPflC
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.895Please respect copyright.PENANAspZWgXU1y1
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.895Please respect copyright.PENANA0LLbuk0s0l
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle895Please respect copyright.PENANAMS1LNkmvhz
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 895Please respect copyright.PENANAmwLDiDhuQk
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room895Please respect copyright.PENANAcdpi0za203
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part895Please respect copyright.PENANALSorNlb1j1
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered895Please respect copyright.PENANAqHkDB0APCz
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.895Please respect copyright.PENANAyoopouY0H0
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through895Please respect copyright.PENANAspRr1rKiO6
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.895Please respect copyright.PENANAXrluzCfsP2
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded895Please respect copyright.PENANA1rqYII1z6v
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead895Please respect copyright.PENANAGljnN9ztU4
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.895Please respect copyright.PENANAquq0Gzl6Fz
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.895Please respect copyright.PENANA8b4thLiRnv
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
