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.874Please respect copyright.PENANABOupgeRyvT
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to874Please respect copyright.PENANA1mwZkfqWTE
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.874Please respect copyright.PENANAEAs22hCLhF
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.874Please respect copyright.PENANAR7ZFoKtPA3
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!874Please respect copyright.PENANAUT94cHIumR
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.874Please respect copyright.PENANAgdu2KrRiIg
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.874Please respect copyright.PENANAkoTmIMpnbZ
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.874Please respect copyright.PENANAWJQGe0q3oe
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,874Please respect copyright.PENANA0mCwwS85jk
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.874Please respect copyright.PENANAUJ0biI20Mw
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!874Please respect copyright.PENANAf6EnvxSCM0
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you874Please respect copyright.PENANAE1OKg57UUl
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.874Please respect copyright.PENANAjYpzBEevQf
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.874Please respect copyright.PENANAKn93oglnsR
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!874Please respect copyright.PENANA1hSmNMVKkX
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.874Please respect copyright.PENANA3S4wyUj7lH
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.874Please respect copyright.PENANAeEQxWvpsPb
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.874Please respect copyright.PENANAXOwsDl6idv
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being874Please respect copyright.PENANANsjfV20huh
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.874Please respect copyright.PENANAksB3rvF1UH
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.874Please respect copyright.PENANA07ZxI2u6r2
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what874Please respect copyright.PENANAiRPC0ynmBG
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.874Please respect copyright.PENANAgHgXDJYI6l
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.874Please respect copyright.PENANAxxra8O5KhX
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably874Please respect copyright.PENANAZgQoH8ASc3
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two874Please respect copyright.PENANAuW4IJd7fts
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.874Please respect copyright.PENANAxdq1XwSyty
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the874Please respect copyright.PENANA5QMfQhJljD
door at the end of the hall.874Please respect copyright.PENANA1JvF5Y6GLw
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.874Please respect copyright.PENANAqoepxdBjtW
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.874Please respect copyright.PENANAHq02177448
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle874Please respect copyright.PENANARqUymLMEn2
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 874Please respect copyright.PENANAvX9Iz4muxO
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room874Please respect copyright.PENANAaIkP3rmXlC
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part874Please respect copyright.PENANAVtlZiWgnRl
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered874Please respect copyright.PENANA8HIjstD6I1
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.874Please respect copyright.PENANAe16r5gAP3G
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through874Please respect copyright.PENANA6M8Mnl1GYr
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.874Please respect copyright.PENANAvnUt7rmPHh
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded874Please respect copyright.PENANAxZCWpGmKZw
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead874Please respect copyright.PENANA4RRRG1SW2Y
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.874Please respect copyright.PENANAjI2isUMkEf
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.874Please respect copyright.PENANApin9h0qXrN
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
