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.960Please respect copyright.PENANAMVN3iUIlm0
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to960Please respect copyright.PENANAE8UEepiTER
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.960Please respect copyright.PENANAzeE2vy4nQb
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.960Please respect copyright.PENANAyVmXJpUKhU
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!960Please respect copyright.PENANAZTKMFY5cJz
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.960Please respect copyright.PENANAEEvVsycslS
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.960Please respect copyright.PENANAejie2Cplmt
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.960Please respect copyright.PENANAaAn8WRSvEM
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,960Please respect copyright.PENANAU0n1WNrNua
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.960Please respect copyright.PENANAHDVMJ7eqXh
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!960Please respect copyright.PENANAk3QXtkBlJH
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you960Please respect copyright.PENANAryzv3irlgh
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.960Please respect copyright.PENANAifnQsGM7lm
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.960Please respect copyright.PENANAVuCj9rcQwd
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!960Please respect copyright.PENANAsCep1F1Fue
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.960Please respect copyright.PENANAdQ8rLK2XZi
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.960Please respect copyright.PENANAjq3c93WYOr
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.960Please respect copyright.PENANAIxqk2fw64y
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being960Please respect copyright.PENANAmJ3B4fkv0U
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.960Please respect copyright.PENANAdK878uyOtl
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.960Please respect copyright.PENANAO8vbI2qeV3
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what960Please respect copyright.PENANAcVpnlLjH76
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.960Please respect copyright.PENANAC3mcGRsyKR
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.960Please respect copyright.PENANAGt5z57arzB
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably960Please respect copyright.PENANAmyHSi0LnWq
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two960Please respect copyright.PENANAqHhqrgmh96
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.960Please respect copyright.PENANAK5L0Yuu5IC
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the960Please respect copyright.PENANAwYuhccIsnk
door at the end of the hall.960Please respect copyright.PENANAmnBiTweuQ6
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.960Please respect copyright.PENANAJuX9O4BXxL
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.960Please respect copyright.PENANAQSW9KgDzAr
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle960Please respect copyright.PENANApA8vRQ8unl
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 960Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZDd3UugY8
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room960Please respect copyright.PENANA4xv3fURjog
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part960Please respect copyright.PENANAEPKTMar63e
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered960Please respect copyright.PENANAhsZvhvvraF
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.960Please respect copyright.PENANAG2SFb64StA
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through960Please respect copyright.PENANAAHXZs5DdkC
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.960Please respect copyright.PENANAcfCVjbHqwK
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded960Please respect copyright.PENANAMrNCjzcna1
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead960Please respect copyright.PENANAJzF12bBdO6
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.960Please respect copyright.PENANAsqlbQ5N5wK
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.960Please respect copyright.PENANAOVM5rGMRxu
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
