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.934Please respect copyright.PENANAJsHPHESFUw
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to934Please respect copyright.PENANAsxsoOYHZwU
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.934Please respect copyright.PENANAwTm7WqfZfy
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.934Please respect copyright.PENANAPAsnwMSb4M
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!934Please respect copyright.PENANA3DRIZovfOs
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.934Please respect copyright.PENANAL14HBUH7uc
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.934Please respect copyright.PENANAwFtZHeiEBb
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.934Please respect copyright.PENANA3XhYGxzn3y
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,934Please respect copyright.PENANAY1L5G2Ycgm
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.934Please respect copyright.PENANAyu3n1tmI6H
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!934Please respect copyright.PENANAjM0q09liyU
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you934Please respect copyright.PENANAgFyq3IU1ls
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.934Please respect copyright.PENANA9SqXslJqzG
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.934Please respect copyright.PENANAFGoQnqQGrc
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!934Please respect copyright.PENANAdrsWdyEWnL
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.934Please respect copyright.PENANA0iXqT9HtDv
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.934Please respect copyright.PENANAEFEAWygBHn
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.934Please respect copyright.PENANA6XetyQxFbm
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being934Please respect copyright.PENANAdFM4zpqJsC
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.934Please respect copyright.PENANAr7lymKkOEn
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.934Please respect copyright.PENANAm4R0qXRM1n
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what934Please respect copyright.PENANA3wRbwCAnin
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.934Please respect copyright.PENANAtGu70XWYYl
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.934Please respect copyright.PENANAMSy8zrdeZV
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably934Please respect copyright.PENANAtNoBvFIav5
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two934Please respect copyright.PENANAIyLr9lmDj5
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.934Please respect copyright.PENANAlVyxsb6cei
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the934Please respect copyright.PENANAPXkdsd7Tm0
door at the end of the hall.934Please respect copyright.PENANA3kHBl83iM2
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.934Please respect copyright.PENANAAD19cUr9NP
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.934Please respect copyright.PENANARJyMnvZT4v
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle934Please respect copyright.PENANAAxLyxEbZ5I
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 934Please respect copyright.PENANAFLUVRSZmPG
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room934Please respect copyright.PENANA4oJSChGcKu
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part934Please respect copyright.PENANAKebockSVfw
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered934Please respect copyright.PENANAxv6xlDjVD5
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.934Please respect copyright.PENANA3VZcV9h1FM
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through934Please respect copyright.PENANAWdHmhjXpAk
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.934Please respect copyright.PENANAtE3P9ze7lb
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded934Please respect copyright.PENANA1TeLXQVqRB
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead934Please respect copyright.PENANAmWBtJwfeoZ
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.934Please respect copyright.PENANA5P35r8wx8b
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.934Please respect copyright.PENANAcZ3bRHLX4l
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
