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.879Please respect copyright.PENANA6EawRmHgOJ
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to879Please respect copyright.PENANAhGyDz7Rp6o
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.879Please respect copyright.PENANASGJfrPt1eX
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.879Please respect copyright.PENANApuYEXJRUnG
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!879Please respect copyright.PENANA3Nm1UhtPlC
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.879Please respect copyright.PENANAffEDbWGtxY
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.879Please respect copyright.PENANAfr0yRxqos1
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.879Please respect copyright.PENANAsz1hOq59nr
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,879Please respect copyright.PENANA9qS5RuSCJ6
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.879Please respect copyright.PENANAWtBXM0eioH
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!879Please respect copyright.PENANAFspddinl6r
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you879Please respect copyright.PENANAoyDEPCImQM
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.879Please respect copyright.PENANA9WJyp0E94u
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.879Please respect copyright.PENANAqIyQOr4mbz
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!879Please respect copyright.PENANAxHVnrRLiKm
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.879Please respect copyright.PENANA69DaBYciZJ
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.879Please respect copyright.PENANAbyUs9WAwYO
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.879Please respect copyright.PENANADOH9uSye3q
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being879Please respect copyright.PENANA6SeNS6aasr
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.879Please respect copyright.PENANATQd674BapA
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.879Please respect copyright.PENANAE7blH7A7HG
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what879Please respect copyright.PENANAtoYcON94Rc
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.879Please respect copyright.PENANA6nrAqfR8eJ
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.879Please respect copyright.PENANA3YCGC7naZP
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably879Please respect copyright.PENANABgQMCLbnUp
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two879Please respect copyright.PENANAQQ7xwmGnIB
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.879Please respect copyright.PENANAmBOiqbzyLL
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the879Please respect copyright.PENANAjKoGvgHQrS
door at the end of the hall.879Please respect copyright.PENANAsPGoTUL3PL
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.879Please respect copyright.PENANA0NkdBfcfuq
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.879Please respect copyright.PENANAe8GvqXMU9z
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle879Please respect copyright.PENANAt0Ax9DzXxH
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 879Please respect copyright.PENANA4AaaGfF2YE
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room879Please respect copyright.PENANAOVYPO7TKpe
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part879Please respect copyright.PENANA17nMdNHOIr
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered879Please respect copyright.PENANAypK3ilVEeb
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.879Please respect copyright.PENANAOlJJtbUKby
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through879Please respect copyright.PENANAPuZBzR7Ex7
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.879Please respect copyright.PENANAiVkdeEted0
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded879Please respect copyright.PENANABkf8LwzMvB
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead879Please respect copyright.PENANAYXWP8MAlc9
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.879Please respect copyright.PENANAfk2HyrbbAb
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.879Please respect copyright.PENANAWOQivNUy2t
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
