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.894Please respect copyright.PENANAOxys2Nci2W
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to894Please respect copyright.PENANA4Y0QsiMM8L
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.894Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZkZMLwQMK
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.894Please respect copyright.PENANAiZDkWWuBeE
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!894Please respect copyright.PENANA45K3VM3ojW
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.894Please respect copyright.PENANAeKg6p1719Z
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.894Please respect copyright.PENANAYwbSgo1but
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.894Please respect copyright.PENANA4dccsCJ9fe
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,894Please respect copyright.PENANAtM6iXDwQkj
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.894Please respect copyright.PENANANpm13NoVF2
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!894Please respect copyright.PENANAiMpoXHp8DE
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you894Please respect copyright.PENANAdAyvBiaXxM
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.894Please respect copyright.PENANAICiLSR0TQy
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.894Please respect copyright.PENANAtZ7sDBbpYl
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!894Please respect copyright.PENANAuk5DlscEPo
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.894Please respect copyright.PENANAhyWVuieM3O
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.894Please respect copyright.PENANAfshNslX0Kg
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.894Please respect copyright.PENANAqn0yOV7ZuX
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being894Please respect copyright.PENANAfyvvKmihmX
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.894Please respect copyright.PENANASD1rS14BV4
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.894Please respect copyright.PENANAhffdY220QC
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what894Please respect copyright.PENANAxTS8ZxQLon
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.894Please respect copyright.PENANARFhFHiwOUB
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.894Please respect copyright.PENANAnFHDVZ4CHZ
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably894Please respect copyright.PENANAq1lNVoK9KM
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two894Please respect copyright.PENANA3S77P9MaIE
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.894Please respect copyright.PENANAo2MQKtVOvr
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the894Please respect copyright.PENANAcQFxwZStbh
door at the end of the hall.894Please respect copyright.PENANAcVEJcIrigA
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.894Please respect copyright.PENANAh07SveKgLu
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.894Please respect copyright.PENANAN3D6UqZ4Bt
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle894Please respect copyright.PENANAFFjH4Fe4gm
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 894Please respect copyright.PENANAEzpkOf2oPs
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room894Please respect copyright.PENANAaDLA6RpmSu
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part894Please respect copyright.PENANAviR9osBVKH
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered894Please respect copyright.PENANAIbByqVSEqp
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.894Please respect copyright.PENANAIUVTWSOUgj
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through894Please respect copyright.PENANAO62VUeN3j5
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.894Please respect copyright.PENANANL9QMwi117
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded894Please respect copyright.PENANA2mFrIGCzrc
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead894Please respect copyright.PENANAREtW00Qlbo
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.894Please respect copyright.PENANAcFkpZEJHSh
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.894Please respect copyright.PENANAJYhLlaJthV
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
