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.827Please respect copyright.PENANA03ZQ9iOiR5
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to827Please respect copyright.PENANAPUVK501iKq
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.827Please respect copyright.PENANAM0UL07wk4a
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.827Please respect copyright.PENANAiwAXJw0BEm
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!827Please respect copyright.PENANAAYAK2JJGQY
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.827Please respect copyright.PENANAnSxtJM1dXL
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.827Please respect copyright.PENANA8YIyXSZpUR
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.827Please respect copyright.PENANABl7LPUr0VR
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,827Please respect copyright.PENANAM4OlU1svMZ
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.827Please respect copyright.PENANAhJ3sxBDS7N
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!827Please respect copyright.PENANAAjWh2X7Pjy
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you827Please respect copyright.PENANAihlqxM7qYr
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.827Please respect copyright.PENANAYb4hfmZ4HZ
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.827Please respect copyright.PENANAFddACItUZj
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!827Please respect copyright.PENANAOuuhZvE0St
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.827Please respect copyright.PENANAKTtioB8dL3
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.827Please respect copyright.PENANAo3VT1AQyAY
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.827Please respect copyright.PENANA9RzCN1Lhcd
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being827Please respect copyright.PENANAqDE8QwCiZz
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.827Please respect copyright.PENANAk4qsvUfpMN
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.827Please respect copyright.PENANAnU33bndHEH
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what827Please respect copyright.PENANAaQCW2x2mhD
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.827Please respect copyright.PENANAX7ECucxAZ2
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.827Please respect copyright.PENANANwM0St3zxO
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably827Please respect copyright.PENANAy6bPtzMMYX
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two827Please respect copyright.PENANArKAiOTMNQZ
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.827Please respect copyright.PENANAHPvZCOfhtT
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the827Please respect copyright.PENANAYG7jzDbLxi
door at the end of the hall.827Please respect copyright.PENANAvCkBAYnFhj
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.827Please respect copyright.PENANAgMI7zN2S2B
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.827Please respect copyright.PENANAxZER8m0LUA
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle827Please respect copyright.PENANAxm7npsnP07
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 827Please respect copyright.PENANAA6waeGqTA1
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room827Please respect copyright.PENANAyJaBKn796y
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part827Please respect copyright.PENANAaGGm3nQXpl
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered827Please respect copyright.PENANALcrnwn7DnM
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.827Please respect copyright.PENANACGxwjwr0xk
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through827Please respect copyright.PENANAeyGaH8EgW7
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.827Please respect copyright.PENANA68Nzwx15fk
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded827Please respect copyright.PENANARRwJznjygR
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead827Please respect copyright.PENANAazuqQcnhcq
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.827Please respect copyright.PENANA0QItoerf5y
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.827Please respect copyright.PENANAupAhMHTVJF
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
