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.724Please respect copyright.PENANA2rsqQONIyn
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to724Please respect copyright.PENANAla4nuBLO4r
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.724Please respect copyright.PENANAczykzguASp
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.724Please respect copyright.PENANAu6lwzrtkE5
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!724Please respect copyright.PENANAnD5SP9JoXX
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.724Please respect copyright.PENANAK6DyCQEYi8
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.724Please respect copyright.PENANAWOhFKrDBLK
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.724Please respect copyright.PENANAbRV8ismg6b
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,724Please respect copyright.PENANA1bi8WRfeDs
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.724Please respect copyright.PENANA6X16OtYFaD
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!724Please respect copyright.PENANAcKTj0nTtVr
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you724Please respect copyright.PENANAUevlEPrlra
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.724Please respect copyright.PENANAhV0lhqxwIa
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.724Please respect copyright.PENANAWgVkunTQVb
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!724Please respect copyright.PENANAc7dZBHAKAE
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.724Please respect copyright.PENANAIITT3VpOFG
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.724Please respect copyright.PENANAzXOgRbBy90
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.724Please respect copyright.PENANAwnWdF4LVG5
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being724Please respect copyright.PENANA2JzcciVcSD
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.724Please respect copyright.PENANAJTu6pyKmFi
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.724Please respect copyright.PENANAaHngrK3jqB
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what724Please respect copyright.PENANABKItMSS9iV
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.724Please respect copyright.PENANAuvySvYjJOv
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.724Please respect copyright.PENANAgAYVJrVcZw
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably724Please respect copyright.PENANAGVlKqX3Qoe
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two724Please respect copyright.PENANAlhVJaI0oKQ
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.724Please respect copyright.PENANA0l0JH0HS09
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the724Please respect copyright.PENANAJX4CSRVU89
door at the end of the hall.724Please respect copyright.PENANAjdOKn74VHw
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.724Please respect copyright.PENANAw1rVV0xYaW
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.724Please respect copyright.PENANAhDvyijpr9z
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle724Please respect copyright.PENANAtzg1YnDQ75
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 724Please respect copyright.PENANADYJpLF0JkV
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room724Please respect copyright.PENANAYYDHPAfq01
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part724Please respect copyright.PENANABoKb1dJy7u
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered724Please respect copyright.PENANAEM8ZrBk9xk
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.724Please respect copyright.PENANAdRPIjpH13n
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through724Please respect copyright.PENANA9K9gZNo2NX
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.724Please respect copyright.PENANAlcmTNOJ0Wg
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded724Please respect copyright.PENANAmIcJtKB6IY
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead724Please respect copyright.PENANAWfGKsWq3df
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.724Please respect copyright.PENANADu4bHQBbCO
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.724Please respect copyright.PENANApEJ6C07JTz
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
