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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAqFRQk293DJ
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to937Please respect copyright.PENANAT0pEiEj1w6
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.937Please respect copyright.PENANAmoEVnMNtXV
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.937Please respect copyright.PENANAsZzMrOUsUY
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!937Please respect copyright.PENANACqLF8Y3sAo
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.937Please respect copyright.PENANADjy6ITvVQe
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.937Please respect copyright.PENANAL3lJeHu14W
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.937Please respect copyright.PENANAqIHcCAxAx2
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,937Please respect copyright.PENANAu3NBqCArIw
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.937Please respect copyright.PENANAZudrtuFWt1
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!937Please respect copyright.PENANAscbI6FI029
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you937Please respect copyright.PENANATAEgxQfXZK
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.937Please respect copyright.PENANA3WLEiSmSz8
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.937Please respect copyright.PENANA2gf0YedwJz
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!937Please respect copyright.PENANAtyvbDHWKTW
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.937Please respect copyright.PENANARCo6fTQVEc
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.937Please respect copyright.PENANA5a1xB9VpCr
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.937Please respect copyright.PENANAzk6wElJohB
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being937Please respect copyright.PENANAFSdoLnWX6N
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.937Please respect copyright.PENANAvTz4kypWl6
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.937Please respect copyright.PENANA27czeCs2lo
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what937Please respect copyright.PENANAS7Hyt1roXN
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.937Please respect copyright.PENANASpxFoswaij
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.937Please respect copyright.PENANAeYP7kjTqpv
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably937Please respect copyright.PENANAs2KeCtD94c
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two937Please respect copyright.PENANA4yI0ZZC2to
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.937Please respect copyright.PENANAGItbdjysJE
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the937Please respect copyright.PENANAT0l9irvcTG
door at the end of the hall.937Please respect copyright.PENANAT0oATWrJHj
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.937Please respect copyright.PENANA2wRZ6A2uZv
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.937Please respect copyright.PENANADN0PTPecIK
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle937Please respect copyright.PENANADiCq00TPvx
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 937Please respect copyright.PENANAamVVoxnY1L
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room937Please respect copyright.PENANACIUsBEKzD9
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part937Please respect copyright.PENANAn72Yalo2vy
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered937Please respect copyright.PENANAUaGiYgkIxo
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.937Please respect copyright.PENANAURAMLjDEQV
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through937Please respect copyright.PENANAEEQP267drV
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.937Please respect copyright.PENANAB3skyTGjta
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded937Please respect copyright.PENANAsKamBVlXzm
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead937Please respect copyright.PENANAbb241ETaG9
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.937Please respect copyright.PENANAfegCp07PwD
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.937Please respect copyright.PENANAZyG7Fnpe8M
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
