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.846Please respect copyright.PENANAtmZLwzpX6A
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to846Please respect copyright.PENANAPL1uuELIqN
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.846Please respect copyright.PENANAYoF2CD3jld
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.846Please respect copyright.PENANARzjDtsBn8k
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!846Please respect copyright.PENANAGFapGCqSyF
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.846Please respect copyright.PENANAgDCvw0JQvd
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.846Please respect copyright.PENANATDkpVdlpLS
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.846Please respect copyright.PENANAo9G4AAtG6v
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,846Please respect copyright.PENANA94SlwCmQqC
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.846Please respect copyright.PENANA8t0IC2YVKW
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!846Please respect copyright.PENANAvWf4HFQZgx
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you846Please respect copyright.PENANAji7QHnauk6
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.846Please respect copyright.PENANATanSY4ktqZ
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.846Please respect copyright.PENANAMsnK8Dl4Mo
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!846Please respect copyright.PENANAQifNxqI3a2
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.846Please respect copyright.PENANAGKKw87zBek
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.846Please respect copyright.PENANAcb360O4EiU
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.846Please respect copyright.PENANAX9ebYZp6Rq
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being846Please respect copyright.PENANAEVR39I2TGg
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.846Please respect copyright.PENANAkLf3NfBMWV
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.846Please respect copyright.PENANApjwUioAPNC
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what846Please respect copyright.PENANAldhHZoW6pw
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.846Please respect copyright.PENANAtXsDUFLhbk
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.846Please respect copyright.PENANAXjdGdNGkHf
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably846Please respect copyright.PENANA36oOGLx8DU
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two846Please respect copyright.PENANASYJ0nRuek9
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.846Please respect copyright.PENANAxbsff0luug
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the846Please respect copyright.PENANAlQJFjkeY3o
door at the end of the hall.846Please respect copyright.PENANAuttyKjuf8g
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.846Please respect copyright.PENANAS4R9LjhHXr
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.846Please respect copyright.PENANAX7ZwLbl9Rm
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle846Please respect copyright.PENANAlLSQP25SsT
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 846Please respect copyright.PENANAT2M0e9AcRq
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room846Please respect copyright.PENANAFgYjp2ev8u
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part846Please respect copyright.PENANALG2cWxecJb
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered846Please respect copyright.PENANAjlFi1f1N4U
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.846Please respect copyright.PENANA53ghwDTI9V
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through846Please respect copyright.PENANA7lkdOBVPb2
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.846Please respect copyright.PENANAvg7m6sFWpZ
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded846Please respect copyright.PENANASNtTD5aWNr
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead846Please respect copyright.PENANAtD0Z1ut2m4
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.846Please respect copyright.PENANASzcSbCFTMp
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.846Please respect copyright.PENANAikWx9txUkw
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
