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.881Please respect copyright.PENANAvZCYfOZSXn
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to881Please respect copyright.PENANAhb1slJowpl
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.881Please respect copyright.PENANAZXdqJQJko8
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.881Please respect copyright.PENANAhzpZZOuhBx
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!881Please respect copyright.PENANARF2EncyJWI
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.881Please respect copyright.PENANADsj8sz9Swj
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.881Please respect copyright.PENANA864xWUbp8L
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.881Please respect copyright.PENANAWzJW3SOLj2
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,881Please respect copyright.PENANAFUpiZ48ffZ
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.881Please respect copyright.PENANAmarjIVmKlE
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!881Please respect copyright.PENANA8pnMeB6sfP
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you881Please respect copyright.PENANAs74LQRHTxg
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.881Please respect copyright.PENANACM1Bbc6Yvj
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.881Please respect copyright.PENANAgYHStHKYDX
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!881Please respect copyright.PENANAvTYf6psEf6
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.881Please respect copyright.PENANAqouPR2wqHU
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.881Please respect copyright.PENANAbWb0xULZFl
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.881Please respect copyright.PENANAuofMPikffQ
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being881Please respect copyright.PENANAdnpD9hcPwo
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.881Please respect copyright.PENANA9S8BUSDr5C
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.881Please respect copyright.PENANAaVCWCdXRcf
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what881Please respect copyright.PENANA74l7PICcCH
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.881Please respect copyright.PENANAKAW4d6NYBs
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.881Please respect copyright.PENANAniNfW5VsMn
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably881Please respect copyright.PENANAzKhxuTZWmq
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two881Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3tfOA6SXO
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.881Please respect copyright.PENANA26EGfTU33X
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the881Please respect copyright.PENANANgOklkiN3X
door at the end of the hall.881Please respect copyright.PENANAorJ1NmKm2N
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.881Please respect copyright.PENANAFT0lb33w6D
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.881Please respect copyright.PENANA0h4d1PcToO
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle881Please respect copyright.PENANAmcUTBon0Xb
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 881Please respect copyright.PENANAaqmZTrmvt8
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room881Please respect copyright.PENANATOkSsjnmEB
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part881Please respect copyright.PENANAV4dfrC803w
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered881Please respect copyright.PENANAHICI5HVqa0
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.881Please respect copyright.PENANARurJpUuPhD
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through881Please respect copyright.PENANA4CpYBjInh2
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.881Please respect copyright.PENANAuT6L6nvYOb
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded881Please respect copyright.PENANACpMiE4lpxT
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead881Please respect copyright.PENANANDbVEIwXvm
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.881Please respect copyright.PENANA2NMJIaZV0g
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.881Please respect copyright.PENANAfEqxrlV2gL
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
