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.988Please respect copyright.PENANAaHEg8sTp9x
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to988Please respect copyright.PENANAwP0gZpaMdP
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.988Please respect copyright.PENANAr0At8CzwBW
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.988Please respect copyright.PENANAAv4SyfED5F
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!988Please respect copyright.PENANAsxeIIFUt4Z
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.988Please respect copyright.PENANALze1qhKKb2
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.988Please respect copyright.PENANAc32zbCk1zz
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.988Please respect copyright.PENANAD54XZ8ktZT
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,988Please respect copyright.PENANAmPHIFpgP8q
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.988Please respect copyright.PENANA8FU9tUksna
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!988Please respect copyright.PENANAudbAy529Mc
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you988Please respect copyright.PENANAMSLNSoQwiW
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.988Please respect copyright.PENANAn8FDHdVV9J
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.988Please respect copyright.PENANAHg8xgCohzV
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!988Please respect copyright.PENANAxB6tQf9x70
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.988Please respect copyright.PENANAt8WBvdfuLI
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.988Please respect copyright.PENANAZulUupMQND
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.988Please respect copyright.PENANAxM3yKGbzh4
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being988Please respect copyright.PENANACxhWs5rS2z
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.988Please respect copyright.PENANAYrJA8Ob0Oi
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.988Please respect copyright.PENANABT9P4JKWFi
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what988Please respect copyright.PENANAGJQfHR6kdK
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.988Please respect copyright.PENANAwLy4xnDgsd
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.988Please respect copyright.PENANAcECJAqhv4d
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably988Please respect copyright.PENANAvr61xI2ig1
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two988Please respect copyright.PENANA9HsMhS95j5
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.988Please respect copyright.PENANAScMvzHjSWr
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the988Please respect copyright.PENANALwgeKGLetC
door at the end of the hall.988Please respect copyright.PENANAKooAvl7CU1
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.988Please respect copyright.PENANAV6fcN54SsJ
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.988Please respect copyright.PENANAvE2xk80D2A
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle988Please respect copyright.PENANAbdFfbTJmU5
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 988Please respect copyright.PENANAbNeXR4B7Nt
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room988Please respect copyright.PENANAPlYgIZkg6k
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part988Please respect copyright.PENANAeQ83qfTXl8
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered988Please respect copyright.PENANAl4VtRzGqvW
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.988Please respect copyright.PENANAWRLGGGcXJy
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through988Please respect copyright.PENANAa8M3iILPqb
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.988Please respect copyright.PENANAH4axKuZAO3
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded988Please respect copyright.PENANALkXZvE1QTX
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead988Please respect copyright.PENANAVECCZ8Bsme
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.988Please respect copyright.PENANAPpSR6Gn8kB
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.988Please respect copyright.PENANAHoJwczBb1m
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
