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.945Please respect copyright.PENANAnnjm53XJkT
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to945Please respect copyright.PENANAY9w9JCSn33
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.945Please respect copyright.PENANAnD0qwiKZxM
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.945Please respect copyright.PENANASqhFaJS4lK
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!945Please respect copyright.PENANAGmD6Oe6j9b
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.945Please respect copyright.PENANAPy5cgtrC4d
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.945Please respect copyright.PENANA1tfMELg7dF
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.945Please respect copyright.PENANAvumobp1o6I
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,945Please respect copyright.PENANA3jm7duGBFp
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.945Please respect copyright.PENANA4MZUlYHmx8
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!945Please respect copyright.PENANAXwHydZsiab
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you945Please respect copyright.PENANAOdVSiHZnHz
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.945Please respect copyright.PENANAnNRpsqrmYv
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.945Please respect copyright.PENANAc35Lszpqgi
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!945Please respect copyright.PENANAvO2ownf5Qi
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.945Please respect copyright.PENANAAyUnM7tJr0
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.945Please respect copyright.PENANA6yldMr3rtq
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.945Please respect copyright.PENANAWMu9LNGPZ8
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being945Please respect copyright.PENANAvtbBwg7S55
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.945Please respect copyright.PENANAx7XEo3QFUl
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.945Please respect copyright.PENANAr0C8DirCmR
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what945Please respect copyright.PENANA6XDdufFJxe
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.945Please respect copyright.PENANAbDlnOlySja
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.945Please respect copyright.PENANAnNRwKcyzb3
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably945Please respect copyright.PENANA6McBEhblu7
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two945Please respect copyright.PENANAaYXuARZboW
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.945Please respect copyright.PENANA83Pg7qL6PW
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the945Please respect copyright.PENANAANQc4mf3Ss
door at the end of the hall.945Please respect copyright.PENANAMqdf46q2GN
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.945Please respect copyright.PENANATg6iabzDH8
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.945Please respect copyright.PENANAUlUO15a7cJ
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle945Please respect copyright.PENANAvV3Bll5RXg
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 945Please respect copyright.PENANAbkj8bkJ0IH
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room945Please respect copyright.PENANA46gvGnhpG4
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part945Please respect copyright.PENANAbR0fNtj45F
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered945Please respect copyright.PENANAFTs6PBZNWI
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.945Please respect copyright.PENANABSl1QK8dpe
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through945Please respect copyright.PENANAWPpIkwMojI
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.945Please respect copyright.PENANAtKYCN2Euyg
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded945Please respect copyright.PENANAFUz3zaB5ql
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead945Please respect copyright.PENANAHXAeje4I2z
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.945Please respect copyright.PENANAyEF1CLS0zJ
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.945Please respect copyright.PENANAoYRKuwjW1v
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
