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.700Please respect copyright.PENANAkV6E2X2Gjp
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to700Please respect copyright.PENANA9J1EBwGN7a
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.700Please respect copyright.PENANA851AYT5mMh
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.700Please respect copyright.PENANAwrPTHNcbsY
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!700Please respect copyright.PENANAedFpbQcJ7V
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.700Please respect copyright.PENANAjH89yaenFD
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.700Please respect copyright.PENANA9XzeamDetQ
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.700Please respect copyright.PENANANDlxMxdOfr
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,700Please respect copyright.PENANA6HYGITE0di
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.700Please respect copyright.PENANAEpEpdbjqls
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!700Please respect copyright.PENANAVJBei1V2D2
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you700Please respect copyright.PENANAG99JxdhhoQ
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.700Please respect copyright.PENANAyRRzIGVF94
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.700Please respect copyright.PENANAoYpSKAy6Wn
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!700Please respect copyright.PENANA17SPJ819fO
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.700Please respect copyright.PENANAmqZECYMmq2
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.700Please respect copyright.PENANABz8uyJsq97
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.700Please respect copyright.PENANAFHxrmwHxZH
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being700Please respect copyright.PENANAe0JF9E1JQF
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.700Please respect copyright.PENANAtzwaoYJaYC
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.700Please respect copyright.PENANAC9l4KnHAMz
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what700Please respect copyright.PENANAvWp8SbnF5H
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.700Please respect copyright.PENANAqMLu6vXOIg
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.700Please respect copyright.PENANAB9kbiyGvUE
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably700Please respect copyright.PENANAdNXjJXLE3C
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two700Please respect copyright.PENANAMtJsMgusQW
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.700Please respect copyright.PENANAX8N7I5DDnr
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the700Please respect copyright.PENANARujmGTpTiJ
door at the end of the hall.700Please respect copyright.PENANAVxIUZdeVbm
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.700Please respect copyright.PENANAfDu6LLb1ly
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.700Please respect copyright.PENANAcEcIY6QGyP
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle700Please respect copyright.PENANA2y0Xd7O7P4
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 700Please respect copyright.PENANA64RvpKmtAb
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room700Please respect copyright.PENANAk2TXVt7j8q
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part700Please respect copyright.PENANAVpUw5ENbGy
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered700Please respect copyright.PENANA9321i0IVFe
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.700Please respect copyright.PENANA7wtf6pvgsR
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through700Please respect copyright.PENANAUVi0Ly2spQ
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.700Please respect copyright.PENANAOWKnUJvAES
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded700Please respect copyright.PENANAnIY92YkEXC
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead700Please respect copyright.PENANAsfUkdgO4FG
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.700Please respect copyright.PENANAhwdazxeggv
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.700Please respect copyright.PENANAbNbMUBeNmA
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
