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.916Please respect copyright.PENANAUWNDssjLZz
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to916Please respect copyright.PENANAdKGYAvmgJL
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.916Please respect copyright.PENANAU5tpwEhNve
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.916Please respect copyright.PENANACdcDKdIxE3
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!916Please respect copyright.PENANADLgk1MnQCX
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.916Please respect copyright.PENANA7oFtVWmNIS
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.916Please respect copyright.PENANADBzthFAiSv
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.916Please respect copyright.PENANALiAGsKbD9e
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,916Please respect copyright.PENANAQHVD24MoKp
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.916Please respect copyright.PENANAMMHBRCQGk3
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!916Please respect copyright.PENANAzpsZfk9Kzw
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you916Please respect copyright.PENANAoWaofwaGH4
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.916Please respect copyright.PENANA4VMng813nl
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.916Please respect copyright.PENANANJUztqsNNS
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!916Please respect copyright.PENANAzDRTkEQarT
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.916Please respect copyright.PENANAe1UcujMux4
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.916Please respect copyright.PENANAGJzgQ1bQo1
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.916Please respect copyright.PENANAab7hdJm6Th
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being916Please respect copyright.PENANAmTinyQFVLN
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.916Please respect copyright.PENANATsWjMWRAv4
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.916Please respect copyright.PENANAzI7Dc6EcT1
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what916Please respect copyright.PENANA7tFHY7nRT3
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.916Please respect copyright.PENANA5vfCFoK0Ig
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.916Please respect copyright.PENANAtGfi8Bkzuk
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably916Please respect copyright.PENANAQWsRZPlmxj
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two916Please respect copyright.PENANAlzqezgQS0w
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.916Please respect copyright.PENANAFFTEKrO3zb
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the916Please respect copyright.PENANAPn57yxOYLM
door at the end of the hall.916Please respect copyright.PENANAwjzjqOv2rk
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.916Please respect copyright.PENANAYOysw75zcu
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.916Please respect copyright.PENANAo1XT2EBgbG
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle916Please respect copyright.PENANAasYfOoPmCr
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 916Please respect copyright.PENANAX9Oq9gw9Wy
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room916Please respect copyright.PENANA9lhYkkMQim
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part916Please respect copyright.PENANAHnupmMsKEs
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered916Please respect copyright.PENANAOc4NusLjzO
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.916Please respect copyright.PENANAVEbShHIzrk
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through916Please respect copyright.PENANAFxzNA0M2wk
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.916Please respect copyright.PENANAiX5LYqfTGk
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded916Please respect copyright.PENANAMWNQFzTtl0
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead916Please respect copyright.PENANAwMeQFM83qw
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.916Please respect copyright.PENANAzPvBLOTgXS
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.916Please respect copyright.PENANAowWvpUVGyI
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
