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.810Please respect copyright.PENANAthg0rYlM9f
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to810Please respect copyright.PENANADfE2EmSlmx
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.810Please respect copyright.PENANAD0hdy5LmJT
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.810Please respect copyright.PENANAobo8oshLnF
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!810Please respect copyright.PENANAhoNR7wfwJf
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.810Please respect copyright.PENANAwdHvL884jm
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.810Please respect copyright.PENANATKXpi0T1eg
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.810Please respect copyright.PENANAYtL071IwyV
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,810Please respect copyright.PENANA7wIIOHGA8U
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.810Please respect copyright.PENANAuKSizFOr2w
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!810Please respect copyright.PENANAWQpZiR7wmm
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you810Please respect copyright.PENANA4o8Wa8XMgm
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.810Please respect copyright.PENANAe3noLqveIZ
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.810Please respect copyright.PENANASDPIGG1xsi
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!810Please respect copyright.PENANAFRuEADgUkT
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.810Please respect copyright.PENANAPq1cCpDel6
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.810Please respect copyright.PENANAZD7KKHCDPB
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.810Please respect copyright.PENANAVPg3gTzOZH
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being810Please respect copyright.PENANABgpLpGO05y
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.810Please respect copyright.PENANAkJGZVIIXUH
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.810Please respect copyright.PENANAOpDYct6lEk
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what810Please respect copyright.PENANAyISvhej9fd
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.810Please respect copyright.PENANANd72SoQsyR
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.810Please respect copyright.PENANAi6MFPh8YuU
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably810Please respect copyright.PENANAMyTdvndlUm
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two810Please respect copyright.PENANAVKVIAIVQzC
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.810Please respect copyright.PENANAeHx75jVnz9
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the810Please respect copyright.PENANAHY1MFflIni
door at the end of the hall.810Please respect copyright.PENANAwsAxkzqPJN
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.810Please respect copyright.PENANA3ahEliHt7Q
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.810Please respect copyright.PENANAuk2nlWfuP4
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle810Please respect copyright.PENANATwz338AJn0
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 810Please respect copyright.PENANAbjMX5RgP8t
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room810Please respect copyright.PENANAbOT51Lru9t
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part810Please respect copyright.PENANAtKywiAHDGs
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered810Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0eAJ3c3IH
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.810Please respect copyright.PENANACp5a6YpGbh
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through810Please respect copyright.PENANATuD3BogLSD
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.810Please respect copyright.PENANAy6W8r7rFDc
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded810Please respect copyright.PENANAerM00O0fZL
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead810Please respect copyright.PENANA1Qqc4fSD3f
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.810Please respect copyright.PENANAeg65ZGLk6p
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.810Please respect copyright.PENANAyORjGExe8a
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
