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.880Please respect copyright.PENANA88nBlxWLxI
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to880Please respect copyright.PENANAo3BbOBD3DL
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.880Please respect copyright.PENANAiAsNibJJ8A
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.880Please respect copyright.PENANAJKxSDiQU6P
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!880Please respect copyright.PENANAj1hwqZrEBH
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.880Please respect copyright.PENANAGd0rYc5Sik
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.880Please respect copyright.PENANAhsTfTXXpos
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.880Please respect copyright.PENANA2leTK37nci
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,880Please respect copyright.PENANAaaRT5UGtAG
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.880Please respect copyright.PENANA92jZ00sDqx
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!880Please respect copyright.PENANA7MQFManW5T
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you880Please respect copyright.PENANAm791BuyNkk
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.880Please respect copyright.PENANAaO5WrVLpsd
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.880Please respect copyright.PENANAGjx1XRiNgQ
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!880Please respect copyright.PENANAvsJrZqr79l
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.880Please respect copyright.PENANAh1PRyB8Sle
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.880Please respect copyright.PENANACgXzpQaY4N
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.880Please respect copyright.PENANAVhOqooBxmg
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being880Please respect copyright.PENANApnukStvC9M
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.880Please respect copyright.PENANAi41Y9AMPow
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.880Please respect copyright.PENANAfmB4kOyCsE
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what880Please respect copyright.PENANAlFwV16HD6G
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.880Please respect copyright.PENANAE21YHITDKT
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.880Please respect copyright.PENANAsSOJ79UYaG
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably880Please respect copyright.PENANAARHRu1eNo0
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two880Please respect copyright.PENANAA352CXnnqH
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.880Please respect copyright.PENANAVpm0kFO2Wv
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the880Please respect copyright.PENANAElsOJrbtEK
door at the end of the hall.880Please respect copyright.PENANAvSXmBj7cwu
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.880Please respect copyright.PENANAeJ2NVsdRE2
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.880Please respect copyright.PENANAat75QmtzOA
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle880Please respect copyright.PENANAEk8eQerIDB
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 880Please respect copyright.PENANAoZ9rIP3gUy
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room880Please respect copyright.PENANAdaIOtRQlwG
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part880Please respect copyright.PENANAT5MCVueISb
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered880Please respect copyright.PENANAydvsGNGCj1
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.880Please respect copyright.PENANAaG12a7y9u9
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through880Please respect copyright.PENANAee52fxNZKX
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.880Please respect copyright.PENANAf87UasYKfH
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded880Please respect copyright.PENANAVkt2hsC0ic
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead880Please respect copyright.PENANAJDyDuiZdPg
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.880Please respect copyright.PENANAmKSmtTiRrJ
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.880Please respect copyright.PENANAtFL0nj4B58
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
