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.712Please respect copyright.PENANAldoIrLUlHN
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to712Please respect copyright.PENANAkLbGRbAnwS
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.712Please respect copyright.PENANAE9Yq15YLYt
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.712Please respect copyright.PENANApPJV2OxySr
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!712Please respect copyright.PENANAiGsYg8QpU8
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.712Please respect copyright.PENANAqiw1EMBeSA
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.712Please respect copyright.PENANAuwumW7kw5I
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.712Please respect copyright.PENANAan4uiev16h
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,712Please respect copyright.PENANAfXKr8wafsi
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.712Please respect copyright.PENANAv9Vkti5ST4
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!712Please respect copyright.PENANACqaYTqYLfG
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you712Please respect copyright.PENANAhNTBFy0HGT
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.712Please respect copyright.PENANAVkNwxly2Hc
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.712Please respect copyright.PENANA7NDXXpIv37
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!712Please respect copyright.PENANAxAQZdVFBTC
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.712Please respect copyright.PENANAYaadVjTFAf
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.712Please respect copyright.PENANAlZ3sCgx1OY
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.712Please respect copyright.PENANASMF34ZJjcn
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being712Please respect copyright.PENANAMyHZAut4sH
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.712Please respect copyright.PENANArhh91ErpAB
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.712Please respect copyright.PENANAKC0X2dDwPw
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what712Please respect copyright.PENANA2R4W0qylR0
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.712Please respect copyright.PENANAdJhK5fOfGo
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.712Please respect copyright.PENANAC0VY4hHMva
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably712Please respect copyright.PENANAgF2SYtHNBZ
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two712Please respect copyright.PENANAmk5kl53o3G
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.712Please respect copyright.PENANAK5mP5SPEoJ
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the712Please respect copyright.PENANAuqIqaJYmw3
door at the end of the hall.712Please respect copyright.PENANAvjgEycJqhH
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.712Please respect copyright.PENANA5LqFNv10BL
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.712Please respect copyright.PENANABzKnaStMmu
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle712Please respect copyright.PENANApugiuD8czc
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 712Please respect copyright.PENANAujgQGxOnrU
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room712Please respect copyright.PENANA6qMkgQJKUT
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part712Please respect copyright.PENANArDaDq3Uw6q
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered712Please respect copyright.PENANAqbYeft2jmO
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.712Please respect copyright.PENANAUQZhqhv41O
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through712Please respect copyright.PENANAZc55pGyGiE
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.712Please respect copyright.PENANAc8eZAT629V
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded712Please respect copyright.PENANAYwnaJhQ63S
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead712Please respect copyright.PENANArBkaxIqS4U
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.712Please respect copyright.PENANAfMi3hanF2j
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.712Please respect copyright.PENANA6brooniLF0
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
