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.826Please respect copyright.PENANAW6N6PuUZau
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to826Please respect copyright.PENANAnfy3u7rXoM
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.826Please respect copyright.PENANARiLK3UYFyP
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.826Please respect copyright.PENANA2GRwpUbYtL
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!826Please respect copyright.PENANAgqZJX5ZkSE
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.826Please respect copyright.PENANAiYywnLH2ot
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.826Please respect copyright.PENANAHKcPVoVUad
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.826Please respect copyright.PENANAaj8SNQffNI
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,826Please respect copyright.PENANAyTh3fuYJuV
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.826Please respect copyright.PENANA67rYvuHiyI
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!826Please respect copyright.PENANAQJQFU79Gjq
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you826Please respect copyright.PENANA1KGRIRRp2N
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.826Please respect copyright.PENANA1sU3PqBfKf
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.826Please respect copyright.PENANACwMrQm6rS4
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!826Please respect copyright.PENANAQoIIS32fB8
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.826Please respect copyright.PENANAyJ4GDE1buZ
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.826Please respect copyright.PENANApRWZIiQmPL
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.826Please respect copyright.PENANAzOw33RUElz
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being826Please respect copyright.PENANAaUoxx9hKtE
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.826Please respect copyright.PENANAP7FF7hFkIN
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.826Please respect copyright.PENANAFWRnHL2li9
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what826Please respect copyright.PENANAppZ5oDekzT
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.826Please respect copyright.PENANAIF5wszuvG4
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.826Please respect copyright.PENANA9n5IPRFTvQ
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably826Please respect copyright.PENANAGUiT9imH0n
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two826Please respect copyright.PENANAAgGJAUDMMm
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.826Please respect copyright.PENANA7pTAX3tji8
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the826Please respect copyright.PENANAvdZzMWc7Ep
door at the end of the hall.826Please respect copyright.PENANAi5bzxkErTk
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.826Please respect copyright.PENANATyvU58FENN
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.826Please respect copyright.PENANAXGMutLTp8B
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle826Please respect copyright.PENANAtp5NuWAStk
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 826Please respect copyright.PENANAgJ4FTLf9eI
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room826Please respect copyright.PENANALhsyFi2UGs
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part826Please respect copyright.PENANAy94yIsi60p
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered826Please respect copyright.PENANAMRqh7AF02a
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.826Please respect copyright.PENANAoFZtFlwBxX
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through826Please respect copyright.PENANAdedyLLkZgZ
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.826Please respect copyright.PENANA0rTnYnYYes
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded826Please respect copyright.PENANA6lQKKepTwz
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead826Please respect copyright.PENANAgKU2t63GUw
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.826Please respect copyright.PENANAZYvQMYc8Yj
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.826Please respect copyright.PENANAyFMlt8sUNI
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
