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.979Please respect copyright.PENANAAJlotAml7q
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to979Please respect copyright.PENANAvPWtqFutIG
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.979Please respect copyright.PENANALwtxME9U0p
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.979Please respect copyright.PENANAtTt7RRVIY9
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!979Please respect copyright.PENANApmX3TV84yz
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.979Please respect copyright.PENANAnuloiOr10h
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.979Please respect copyright.PENANAVbjphJYbIo
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.979Please respect copyright.PENANAMM5KovvLLm
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,979Please respect copyright.PENANAuS6eSE1m7I
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.979Please respect copyright.PENANAmloQD6PPOx
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!979Please respect copyright.PENANAaNnZlRv6ec
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you979Please respect copyright.PENANAfCIw3Wz1yZ
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.979Please respect copyright.PENANABzqNstDVYT
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.979Please respect copyright.PENANAZfXBT5IZIs
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!979Please respect copyright.PENANAWYHiRao2cV
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.979Please respect copyright.PENANA4vDxoBhRF7
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.979Please respect copyright.PENANAyM8xuL9sps
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.979Please respect copyright.PENANAN65RtYruIi
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being979Please respect copyright.PENANAXcNCZEa6SY
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.979Please respect copyright.PENANAL4wOgPiFTk
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.979Please respect copyright.PENANADwUe1sDcK0
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what979Please respect copyright.PENANAxvtnCao3Mw
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.979Please respect copyright.PENANAFy3beMHkVY
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.979Please respect copyright.PENANAtWTamQK8bD
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably979Please respect copyright.PENANAcSobK1T5Qp
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two979Please respect copyright.PENANAVVmT4B5Xry
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.979Please respect copyright.PENANAgPg9TV9mSx
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the979Please respect copyright.PENANAElBTET6KKi
door at the end of the hall.979Please respect copyright.PENANAbaNbmUggSN
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.979Please respect copyright.PENANAvoaWdUhFBy
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.979Please respect copyright.PENANAu1zFrsGprX
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle979Please respect copyright.PENANAChxDFelsrh
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 979Please respect copyright.PENANA7CJz8zBpL0
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room979Please respect copyright.PENANA3GJH5XZNyb
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part979Please respect copyright.PENANAFK3FUgvmcr
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered979Please respect copyright.PENANAsgq4vx5oUC
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.979Please respect copyright.PENANALudone5Frg
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through979Please respect copyright.PENANA8Drm9B32SJ
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.979Please respect copyright.PENANAmEuqucSfrz
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded979Please respect copyright.PENANAPljqtZ7VZJ
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead979Please respect copyright.PENANARIIJTd6kL7
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.979Please respect copyright.PENANAEtBTfBnEG8
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.979Please respect copyright.PENANANDMAPMg4xW
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
