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.868Please respect copyright.PENANAgb4lPiWfnI
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to868Please respect copyright.PENANAxA7lVTI7Jd
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.868Please respect copyright.PENANA6VhmEHeQ0G
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.868Please respect copyright.PENANAH063J9S3xO
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!868Please respect copyright.PENANAIri9hjywBK
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.868Please respect copyright.PENANAcbzwO1e4a3
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.868Please respect copyright.PENANAQg2ZXTJtJy
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.868Please respect copyright.PENANAhWAl0oS9Um
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,868Please respect copyright.PENANANGJP1CVvCh
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.868Please respect copyright.PENANAHnZyU9CfR3
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!868Please respect copyright.PENANA39Iuz49wap
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you868Please respect copyright.PENANArzApnF4pyt
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.868Please respect copyright.PENANAvMqCFIEcUz
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.868Please respect copyright.PENANANA72ffU83s
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!868Please respect copyright.PENANAEf2LRJRuWN
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.868Please respect copyright.PENANAjwFGlHb9Bg
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.868Please respect copyright.PENANAz5KGUXOfYW
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.868Please respect copyright.PENANAgLnK2aewKz
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being868Please respect copyright.PENANAZVzPOK7bXP
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.868Please respect copyright.PENANAtPitV8Dase
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.868Please respect copyright.PENANAFAzgZ5EFL4
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what868Please respect copyright.PENANAemLwR9gGs0
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.868Please respect copyright.PENANAcpKvqEzuuj
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.868Please respect copyright.PENANAKngF6poNV9
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably868Please respect copyright.PENANALjAwpAfG1l
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two868Please respect copyright.PENANAiB1ElMrqtb
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.868Please respect copyright.PENANAPuq68vWWdF
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the868Please respect copyright.PENANAOZkO7laBm1
door at the end of the hall.868Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZETxelmjp
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.868Please respect copyright.PENANAZIhx23n2MO
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.868Please respect copyright.PENANAtYtQ4MACtf
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle868Please respect copyright.PENANApQ8I9VqDzG
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 868Please respect copyright.PENANAN1D0zAUj79
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room868Please respect copyright.PENANAYWdfTUOTLC
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part868Please respect copyright.PENANA0Hui58nTuw
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered868Please respect copyright.PENANA0ykELQbayP
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.868Please respect copyright.PENANA6dEzNg6B0u
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through868Please respect copyright.PENANAen5EZQkfgK
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.868Please respect copyright.PENANAHyuxAnfBJY
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded868Please respect copyright.PENANA4Vfl0qXe4p
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead868Please respect copyright.PENANATdr95KwnKA
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.868Please respect copyright.PENANAajORi3ekc5
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.868Please respect copyright.PENANAO6MlQZner9
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
