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.714Please respect copyright.PENANA92p6EKM2Nv
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to714Please respect copyright.PENANA7qRkq5iR68
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.714Please respect copyright.PENANARHe5yz5NUV
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.714Please respect copyright.PENANAiMNPNmK6hk
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!714Please respect copyright.PENANAtX4CkgjMDo
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.714Please respect copyright.PENANATu6BdMFe1t
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.714Please respect copyright.PENANAXuxod6fO7c
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.714Please respect copyright.PENANA4atqPH9xIE
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,714Please respect copyright.PENANAFu8O1l7bDi
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.714Please respect copyright.PENANA2fmwhYrH6n
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!714Please respect copyright.PENANA88p7nnsElB
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you714Please respect copyright.PENANAitG3LSOhQs
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.714Please respect copyright.PENANAV6afv0APKQ
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.714Please respect copyright.PENANArtXTA4gXcU
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!714Please respect copyright.PENANA2n4KJDkRBn
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.714Please respect copyright.PENANACGqECO0yRp
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.714Please respect copyright.PENANAx68hYG9YzJ
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.714Please respect copyright.PENANArZtPvIJV7Q
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being714Please respect copyright.PENANAMDIQRAy4Hi
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.714Please respect copyright.PENANAy0CJvPF03w
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.714Please respect copyright.PENANA6fyLBxfwMp
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what714Please respect copyright.PENANAw6gM43Kkks
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.714Please respect copyright.PENANAxQOdI3IErV
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.714Please respect copyright.PENANACvx288D24y
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably714Please respect copyright.PENANAqNfTF6klg0
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two714Please respect copyright.PENANAc5sh0ZpISo
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.714Please respect copyright.PENANAHwDgc1GnB6
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the714Please respect copyright.PENANAAlYQDmqSjy
door at the end of the hall.714Please respect copyright.PENANApgWGGAnd9l
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.714Please respect copyright.PENANAa2bhujOrEq
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.714Please respect copyright.PENANAjGhRSWBgfC
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle714Please respect copyright.PENANA3XfTK57XAQ
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 714Please respect copyright.PENANAoqZt70M7lm
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room714Please respect copyright.PENANAvtw6Y13i3f
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part714Please respect copyright.PENANACi7Hajjd0j
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered714Please respect copyright.PENANAz55TTSVRS9
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.714Please respect copyright.PENANAkzDWbekavt
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through714Please respect copyright.PENANAq5PzEL3KbL
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.714Please respect copyright.PENANAhr53y1qCTs
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded714Please respect copyright.PENANAyt6C0f0Tbt
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead714Please respect copyright.PENANA5fKiarRNzi
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.714Please respect copyright.PENANApN2WuJRoqw
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.714Please respect copyright.PENANAlC5u1lLK4O
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
