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.865Please respect copyright.PENANAOVWBS0cDuj
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to865Please respect copyright.PENANATGUk82G1Va
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.865Please respect copyright.PENANAE9qw6iScD6
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.865Please respect copyright.PENANAr5u29qylES
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!865Please respect copyright.PENANAUNKbjBwMSU
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.865Please respect copyright.PENANA9NuDHjbsNS
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.865Please respect copyright.PENANAPKX3gIYgRs
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.865Please respect copyright.PENANAmMuw1lkP3O
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,865Please respect copyright.PENANAPfERTXHOsk
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.865Please respect copyright.PENANAk9IdEUIt8Y
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!865Please respect copyright.PENANA0fXuGWp0Ch
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you865Please respect copyright.PENANAAh6eZ98g0z
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.865Please respect copyright.PENANABbPNBsUvPa
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.865Please respect copyright.PENANAxVxp8hzC3T
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!865Please respect copyright.PENANAu7DDWle0K3
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.865Please respect copyright.PENANATxloRTIhR5
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.865Please respect copyright.PENANAfTQFyV4DbA
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.865Please respect copyright.PENANA8iWwQue1WH
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being865Please respect copyright.PENANAtgJo1RAIaH
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.865Please respect copyright.PENANAHkDKwNDNfw
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.865Please respect copyright.PENANARN6H8KqVpp
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what865Please respect copyright.PENANAUO65TbQtqX
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.865Please respect copyright.PENANAbmQ4GcV96A
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.865Please respect copyright.PENANAk1Qe1kNsNY
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably865Please respect copyright.PENANAmHryF7301v
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two865Please respect copyright.PENANACiAEL0Xmu4
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.865Please respect copyright.PENANAN0FHriRpI9
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the865Please respect copyright.PENANA30g0sR11Nd
door at the end of the hall.865Please respect copyright.PENANApM6hn1KYy1
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.865Please respect copyright.PENANAo3fr6ttbI8
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.865Please respect copyright.PENANAM2FYzmbSr2
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle865Please respect copyright.PENANACdShTgvdhF
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 865Please respect copyright.PENANAuWmlGAx8uL
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room865Please respect copyright.PENANAnhEyt4vuUE
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part865Please respect copyright.PENANAM6s5E6CoBI
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered865Please respect copyright.PENANAfSMDuUbkLi
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.865Please respect copyright.PENANACeNVZHwuL6
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through865Please respect copyright.PENANAijsZVqOnak
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.865Please respect copyright.PENANAsdVBdKaMQ5
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded865Please respect copyright.PENANAAlDYElUsmv
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead865Please respect copyright.PENANA3gbdbMiWtV
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.865Please respect copyright.PENANAxAgKwzYBH7
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.865Please respect copyright.PENANAf4fMru6TuI
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
