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.892Please respect copyright.PENANAOOiMpgfJty
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to892Please respect copyright.PENANAlMbY5w3NCo
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.892Please respect copyright.PENANAhcWGc381ch
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.892Please respect copyright.PENANA9yeB99yPoo
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!892Please respect copyright.PENANA6FU6QcyT5m
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.892Please respect copyright.PENANA8byCx23MIs
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.892Please respect copyright.PENANA1goPOURFrM
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.892Please respect copyright.PENANAHre92RaxLi
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,892Please respect copyright.PENANAWusuxpbcUg
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.892Please respect copyright.PENANAbkRRcFcvab
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!892Please respect copyright.PENANAIC3MAywaBr
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you892Please respect copyright.PENANA2e5nnqZSaD
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.892Please respect copyright.PENANAo8DSQ6ujkI
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.892Please respect copyright.PENANAqKqv5db29G
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!892Please respect copyright.PENANAHyZCPJQJTD
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.892Please respect copyright.PENANAFUwYZwlSHD
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.892Please respect copyright.PENANABOp1pLHyfd
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.892Please respect copyright.PENANAyQWhErHPvY
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being892Please respect copyright.PENANAPwdzQ7dbRT
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.892Please respect copyright.PENANAwY9cj2c8ot
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.892Please respect copyright.PENANA2kIL7c19Z7
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what892Please respect copyright.PENANA6P2QCRDvNj
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.892Please respect copyright.PENANAcFJVWia7pK
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.892Please respect copyright.PENANAINW6fkyk4R
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably892Please respect copyright.PENANAH1BEY5N59T
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two892Please respect copyright.PENANA3f4dTGb81T
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.892Please respect copyright.PENANAbTPwhRDP3d
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the892Please respect copyright.PENANAXskFMlP7CO
door at the end of the hall.892Please respect copyright.PENANALaMajRHFZ6
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.892Please respect copyright.PENANAqaGLh4Rev4
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.892Please respect copyright.PENANAmj63MzVEGe
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle892Please respect copyright.PENANAPiL0tB9eNm
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 892Please respect copyright.PENANAEKIq8ozbKj
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room892Please respect copyright.PENANA1yEdY8y1U1
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part892Please respect copyright.PENANA256YhaiKlO
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered892Please respect copyright.PENANABdKHC2KZUs
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.892Please respect copyright.PENANAIm9eeSgCyC
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through892Please respect copyright.PENANAQQDLBqUKqO
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.892Please respect copyright.PENANAlnTUgAG32V
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded892Please respect copyright.PENANAwaUoljRUNy
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead892Please respect copyright.PENANA5vTTG5ZhJJ
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.892Please respect copyright.PENANAWYrAl0CPvM
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.892Please respect copyright.PENANAJh37cd0vq7
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
