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.811Please respect copyright.PENANAKSjvXtJSbG
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to811Please respect copyright.PENANA6Eg6AkDEtz
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.811Please respect copyright.PENANAndPFLCNV9o
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.811Please respect copyright.PENANAgA0hBbZ4F8
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!811Please respect copyright.PENANAPLTvscbkk4
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.811Please respect copyright.PENANAlqr6iHtATr
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.811Please respect copyright.PENANATruAm97s7T
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.811Please respect copyright.PENANABCZKF8lTax
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,811Please respect copyright.PENANAVJoUCAn7S4
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.811Please respect copyright.PENANA4qYc0ouE9b
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!811Please respect copyright.PENANATruBly7xYR
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you811Please respect copyright.PENANAwrSTUm90x5
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.811Please respect copyright.PENANAaRnyuPzibX
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.811Please respect copyright.PENANADYCKVLpKs6
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!811Please respect copyright.PENANAjZzvmGescR
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.811Please respect copyright.PENANASiAL5agXUJ
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.811Please respect copyright.PENANA6K7U4DZlqi
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.811Please respect copyright.PENANA5kVjXQyMwz
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being811Please respect copyright.PENANAuJfPGKktqJ
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.811Please respect copyright.PENANAeAiLrNj5y9
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.811Please respect copyright.PENANAfWN7cKy9d9
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what811Please respect copyright.PENANAUBNJ9GX8we
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.811Please respect copyright.PENANA8RR74ArWlm
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.811Please respect copyright.PENANAiUMM0lLFpl
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably811Please respect copyright.PENANASuzTxJmTK1
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two811Please respect copyright.PENANAKigGXUIByd
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.811Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZpUp2oBGp
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the811Please respect copyright.PENANAoBDdtRUtox
door at the end of the hall.811Please respect copyright.PENANAP0IOZBVRhM
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.811Please respect copyright.PENANApMl0BCS6Mv
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.811Please respect copyright.PENANAtENoPOUA96
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle811Please respect copyright.PENANAdEVPM7kCZb
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 811Please respect copyright.PENANAqOFEAilJoZ
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room811Please respect copyright.PENANAaiSqVMA2hW
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part811Please respect copyright.PENANAp2Tro5vtzi
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered811Please respect copyright.PENANAGhNRzQixUe
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.811Please respect copyright.PENANAtGNRuqv4bg
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through811Please respect copyright.PENANAxUduabtWNe
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.811Please respect copyright.PENANADmsFdrrm06
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded811Please respect copyright.PENANAJYi5BGUtV6
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead811Please respect copyright.PENANAlP7brE9doV
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.811Please respect copyright.PENANAtPDkefJh9A
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.811Please respect copyright.PENANA5VZfOQS0va
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
