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.883Please respect copyright.PENANAckbcndYA6S
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to883Please respect copyright.PENANAtB7ehLYIv3
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.883Please respect copyright.PENANAMRDw4uynoY
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.883Please respect copyright.PENANAzfYqxFFeFm
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!883Please respect copyright.PENANAdyrG9JWAsN
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.883Please respect copyright.PENANARidWbV4nLZ
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.883Please respect copyright.PENANATvpiBruTaU
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.883Please respect copyright.PENANAlS1WLIu2dO
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,883Please respect copyright.PENANAIJfjjhCAR3
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.883Please respect copyright.PENANAGKUnraRrNU
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!883Please respect copyright.PENANAgGOGGDQ2ep
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you883Please respect copyright.PENANAegwEZso0AE
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.883Please respect copyright.PENANASJaVuxUQjo
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.883Please respect copyright.PENANAnznR1Orm9P
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!883Please respect copyright.PENANA511IgXl4Eg
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.883Please respect copyright.PENANAQelfYJJIO5
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.883Please respect copyright.PENANAKjmJ6u5SMj
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.883Please respect copyright.PENANAhlvGLFRH8V
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being883Please respect copyright.PENANA6ybIW9WI5N
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.883Please respect copyright.PENANAE6OktfshrU
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.883Please respect copyright.PENANAJTJbT9uSEK
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what883Please respect copyright.PENANA61CkUYYCdu
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.883Please respect copyright.PENANAz6GvVs5P1P
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.883Please respect copyright.PENANAa9xFsRzePd
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably883Please respect copyright.PENANAhZA0JhR8sp
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two883Please respect copyright.PENANAWDAFkLm7rf
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.883Please respect copyright.PENANAWsxEA4ofhq
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the883Please respect copyright.PENANAO704DgD9Hi
door at the end of the hall.883Please respect copyright.PENANA84gSi44PSg
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.883Please respect copyright.PENANAq94H1Fw8mr
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.883Please respect copyright.PENANAZtPZTthRxU
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle883Please respect copyright.PENANANrfJ9bzMXK
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 883Please respect copyright.PENANATAmPKBD4K8
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room883Please respect copyright.PENANAGaXduCehJZ
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part883Please respect copyright.PENANA6eXqvSbZe6
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered883Please respect copyright.PENANAl7UgHSujtd
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.883Please respect copyright.PENANA9ErkuyXDUw
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through883Please respect copyright.PENANAu3C98KpMD5
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.883Please respect copyright.PENANADDWkL1vneu
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded883Please respect copyright.PENANACDumBBkjCv
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead883Please respect copyright.PENANAZgcBVaRqNE
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.883Please respect copyright.PENANACUW3uko7lx
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.883Please respect copyright.PENANAm5Dvp6oRsW
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
