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.903Please respect copyright.PENANAWzzCt1hs21
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to903Please respect copyright.PENANAMaCQAi0ZqO
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.903Please respect copyright.PENANAwkMFh6JOAU
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.903Please respect copyright.PENANAo3tGvzM4o1
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!903Please respect copyright.PENANAfoXUGAlbcz
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.903Please respect copyright.PENANAZKJz9vJMiG
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.903Please respect copyright.PENANAvkJdlrdPJH
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.903Please respect copyright.PENANAblirfM2G4J
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,903Please respect copyright.PENANAbtGQ5xMRRS
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.903Please respect copyright.PENANAfNAEiX2pRD
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!903Please respect copyright.PENANASBA5qG3GPj
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you903Please respect copyright.PENANAN0gTWlRdyU
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.903Please respect copyright.PENANA1NmZbc8ClV
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.903Please respect copyright.PENANA8KTQIBcar1
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!903Please respect copyright.PENANARBGYcVQiSp
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.903Please respect copyright.PENANAp5zOZuR1xF
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.903Please respect copyright.PENANAlNmuNlIaaH
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.903Please respect copyright.PENANAr4Sw8j1Nn6
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being903Please respect copyright.PENANAm4kWSYTgxi
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.903Please respect copyright.PENANA7IEo2uzdzN
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.903Please respect copyright.PENANAKeWybnSWM8
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what903Please respect copyright.PENANA0EDHgZQvAl
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.903Please respect copyright.PENANASL4xcFpmTy
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.903Please respect copyright.PENANAdbzmvZlr05
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably903Please respect copyright.PENANAlZJ9Q9o7Mv
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two903Please respect copyright.PENANA4LgcQEibhN
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.903Please respect copyright.PENANA5zfsKo0n18
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the903Please respect copyright.PENANALNRhNa5MD4
door at the end of the hall.903Please respect copyright.PENANAzbQ6148lBm
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.903Please respect copyright.PENANAUfmtxeMlM9
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.903Please respect copyright.PENANAu8ECOUXsoz
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle903Please respect copyright.PENANADt3MhSt7P5
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 903Please respect copyright.PENANAhUD9CrYGdJ
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room903Please respect copyright.PENANAVvT0NNGsZE
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part903Please respect copyright.PENANA8EOYBCzDXh
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered903Please respect copyright.PENANAg3nYn0Fih1
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.903Please respect copyright.PENANAE5H3i8stk6
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through903Please respect copyright.PENANAJUrjkXLeRq
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.903Please respect copyright.PENANAoW2oInsvvO
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded903Please respect copyright.PENANAsPVGuhKLDn
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead903Please respect copyright.PENANA4fNuzpiRmj
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.903Please respect copyright.PENANAkVPJO3cyqy
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.903Please respect copyright.PENANAMpRs4gESIb
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
