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.713Please respect copyright.PENANAKYcBcMpQ9F
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to713Please respect copyright.PENANAsavlfXfTlb
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.713Please respect copyright.PENANAEEl2hwdcyP
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.713Please respect copyright.PENANAanzeV4RlDd
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!713Please respect copyright.PENANAW3i0m7wx4K
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.713Please respect copyright.PENANAs08grKy77N
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.713Please respect copyright.PENANAA5zE0kLXwD
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.713Please respect copyright.PENANA4MRKzP9GPm
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,713Please respect copyright.PENANAhA2E4XTxPH
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.713Please respect copyright.PENANAcz2X6DHd0A
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!713Please respect copyright.PENANAaWuTyBFBWb
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you713Please respect copyright.PENANA4aHLSyigRP
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.713Please respect copyright.PENANAqptRfzlUpF
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.713Please respect copyright.PENANAYY0Mu5l77j
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!713Please respect copyright.PENANAjBnyZ1X4Ck
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.713Please respect copyright.PENANAHEld5iEf5v
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.713Please respect copyright.PENANAHkoxXwhwN9
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.713Please respect copyright.PENANAbayXZX6uuE
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being713Please respect copyright.PENANAGEuC1vmu9s
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.713Please respect copyright.PENANAYXvpu3QFNz
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.713Please respect copyright.PENANAkyYNus3yYD
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what713Please respect copyright.PENANAe3SvV7Ux9m
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.713Please respect copyright.PENANAdKEeOrfUDB
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.713Please respect copyright.PENANAe2mmGV0hIG
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably713Please respect copyright.PENANAKHpT9KFBhe
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two713Please respect copyright.PENANA3uFgVwaAEX
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.713Please respect copyright.PENANAld9xRIbSuH
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the713Please respect copyright.PENANAQmReOHQT6A
door at the end of the hall.713Please respect copyright.PENANApcGCC1i1YO
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.713Please respect copyright.PENANAEZDArpaF40
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.713Please respect copyright.PENANAKtQMP1I1me
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle713Please respect copyright.PENANAG4jiQAtjjr
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 713Please respect copyright.PENANAtyhUlS23Cs
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room713Please respect copyright.PENANAoJN5YqfcrL
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part713Please respect copyright.PENANASypdw3XcS2
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered713Please respect copyright.PENANAukchyANYhu
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.713Please respect copyright.PENANAmpH2BiSMWB
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through713Please respect copyright.PENANA7xRftJOg86
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.713Please respect copyright.PENANASNSJUzZssJ
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded713Please respect copyright.PENANAXLySAwLrzy
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead713Please respect copyright.PENANAxVzxurMc9H
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.713Please respect copyright.PENANADLY3zC6nrB
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.713Please respect copyright.PENANAo8a74ic94A
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
