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.906Please respect copyright.PENANAK3OuUSg6L2
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to906Please respect copyright.PENANAAqJ7Qr0MkA
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.906Please respect copyright.PENANAnAqiBobWUc
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.906Please respect copyright.PENANAJJZwtVcB2q
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!906Please respect copyright.PENANAMP7U0q4icm
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.906Please respect copyright.PENANAc93cCAzIMf
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.906Please respect copyright.PENANAS58NEPZs7o
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.906Please respect copyright.PENANA2ExAnNoFn9
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,906Please respect copyright.PENANAKofIIIv0ZP
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.906Please respect copyright.PENANAqSJ8nTa3mA
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!906Please respect copyright.PENANAeevrtQmw0f
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you906Please respect copyright.PENANAfWEfcNED3L
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.906Please respect copyright.PENANA9AcR8wsYGy
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.906Please respect copyright.PENANA2KBas9UBl6
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!906Please respect copyright.PENANArUAQHMIKO0
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.906Please respect copyright.PENANA5oJ0dA7mW7
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.906Please respect copyright.PENANARD0LB2G2NG
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.906Please respect copyright.PENANACHZ6v4iWuC
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being906Please respect copyright.PENANAzgEZr0pW1M
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.906Please respect copyright.PENANAV5eLJVPsyJ
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.906Please respect copyright.PENANArFaB8TsGDr
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what906Please respect copyright.PENANAx4i3YWA6Um
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.906Please respect copyright.PENANABIYwBlAvYu
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.906Please respect copyright.PENANAygx7LvgWd6
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably906Please respect copyright.PENANAnUC6DILKln
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two906Please respect copyright.PENANA9DcNwqQBd2
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.906Please respect copyright.PENANANsyUlUZ8c9
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the906Please respect copyright.PENANAlIWGYST3Oe
door at the end of the hall.906Please respect copyright.PENANA9Xap5srDLv
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.906Please respect copyright.PENANA983hztQz2F
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.906Please respect copyright.PENANAt8yQiIgWdZ
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle906Please respect copyright.PENANAoWdLI9QCRp
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 906Please respect copyright.PENANAn16aVWhJD4
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room906Please respect copyright.PENANAtfd5rxrA8g
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part906Please respect copyright.PENANAhsh41kRHZj
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered906Please respect copyright.PENANAGDUseCBMy9
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.906Please respect copyright.PENANAWQEJuakFDC
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through906Please respect copyright.PENANAsmqiNpvXHd
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.906Please respect copyright.PENANA0Xa1kOgwwO
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded906Please respect copyright.PENANA7KGzzgrOlx
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead906Please respect copyright.PENANAngyD6ZMxpl
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.906Please respect copyright.PENANApGtfbQ7MTN
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.906Please respect copyright.PENANAV2pSsnLAUZ
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
