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.711Please respect copyright.PENANAaeP3qpeQiN
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to711Please respect copyright.PENANAvobsOm2tCB
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.711Please respect copyright.PENANATUYdJYiFRw
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.711Please respect copyright.PENANA5JjYOzdodQ
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!711Please respect copyright.PENANAhCBUDSVyUS
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.711Please respect copyright.PENANAWbHSXnUSHC
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.711Please respect copyright.PENANAyOSZ6ymtsW
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.711Please respect copyright.PENANATkijWXq4AZ
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,711Please respect copyright.PENANAdcDbVLbQ9G
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.711Please respect copyright.PENANAofZ10NwT5v
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!711Please respect copyright.PENANAsC1efHNeKg
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you711Please respect copyright.PENANAIiLP0Nbgjf
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.711Please respect copyright.PENANA64jqPU832i
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.711Please respect copyright.PENANA62yMBNkDIB
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!711Please respect copyright.PENANAb81qT6Rxyb
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.711Please respect copyright.PENANADnik7SPI9D
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.711Please respect copyright.PENANAgPS4l8G3Yu
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.711Please respect copyright.PENANAMgK7WR7sHe
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being711Please respect copyright.PENANAWA2NKEZAoz
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.711Please respect copyright.PENANAuB3BVJyzxk
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.711Please respect copyright.PENANAqJZTjmF9jR
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what711Please respect copyright.PENANA3L3XaUGHFQ
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.711Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9THgsLX1D
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.711Please respect copyright.PENANAJmPrAlcLaL
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably711Please respect copyright.PENANAYIEofVFaVh
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two711Please respect copyright.PENANAUDnkT3cv3I
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.711Please respect copyright.PENANAjzLfnBMbR3
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the711Please respect copyright.PENANAd4ebJzGS1L
door at the end of the hall.711Please respect copyright.PENANA3RruyndnQ2
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.711Please respect copyright.PENANAayvyOslJh7
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.711Please respect copyright.PENANAqcKtoY0SEf
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle711Please respect copyright.PENANADbas8ofTLW
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 711Please respect copyright.PENANArfvkkkOTv5
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room711Please respect copyright.PENANAkSE5GQzdR4
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part711Please respect copyright.PENANASxsyjdhRAm
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered711Please respect copyright.PENANAN2TVYhmKhb
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.711Please respect copyright.PENANAy187b090C1
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through711Please respect copyright.PENANACxWIe0EtpM
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.711Please respect copyright.PENANABAkTFkoaPM
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded711Please respect copyright.PENANA8WsB4Qb30i
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead711Please respect copyright.PENANAJQRdFIaWkg
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.711Please respect copyright.PENANAyGVrm2lbqB
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.711Please respect copyright.PENANAbo6a4LslZw
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
