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.898Please respect copyright.PENANAYkQBjy0n9W
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to898Please respect copyright.PENANABQ16x93YgS
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.898Please respect copyright.PENANAJeAJp1uFwX
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.898Please respect copyright.PENANAKF1mdsXNRI
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!898Please respect copyright.PENANA0QgmTXHRRj
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.898Please respect copyright.PENANAbHWCBZINuX
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.898Please respect copyright.PENANASc4g2dQZrX
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.898Please respect copyright.PENANAs7VWDEoQXI
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,898Please respect copyright.PENANAjdJVA5KgCo
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.898Please respect copyright.PENANAWMYHVFHTaJ
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!898Please respect copyright.PENANAKv7K61wrp7
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you898Please respect copyright.PENANAP26xOO059h
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.898Please respect copyright.PENANAEWEXQp84R9
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.898Please respect copyright.PENANA0sLCSAilOC
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!898Please respect copyright.PENANA8gv9zEatLp
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.898Please respect copyright.PENANAUUIhcZlkCT
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.898Please respect copyright.PENANA5pWp3fzgQF
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.898Please respect copyright.PENANAvV0HbjMGgN
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being898Please respect copyright.PENANA3nJdy4EIcO
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.898Please respect copyright.PENANAqHCH9ypYLr
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.898Please respect copyright.PENANAMm37FyPgsj
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what898Please respect copyright.PENANAt6UODz2hcg
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.898Please respect copyright.PENANAWS4ocdhOmA
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.898Please respect copyright.PENANA7Fsy2TSEhh
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably898Please respect copyright.PENANAEhGExScxgK
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two898Please respect copyright.PENANABeTls1mg4B
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.898Please respect copyright.PENANA256j1oVtBp
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the898Please respect copyright.PENANA4S9PCDw4k7
door at the end of the hall.898Please respect copyright.PENANA3aJSIIDR42
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.898Please respect copyright.PENANANQg8R6lFU8
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.898Please respect copyright.PENANAfWhOZW70Ne
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle898Please respect copyright.PENANAlZsNL9tWBT
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 898Please respect copyright.PENANAwAl82J3Yxs
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room898Please respect copyright.PENANALo5owm177I
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part898Please respect copyright.PENANA3U9kfPd3xo
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered898Please respect copyright.PENANAOJXDSvKbpc
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.898Please respect copyright.PENANA6gknyspyrK
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through898Please respect copyright.PENANAIjQv8tvWa6
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.898Please respect copyright.PENANA81ZLF1qVwI
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded898Please respect copyright.PENANAmSrB732d4e
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead898Please respect copyright.PENANAun6cWflZqB
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.898Please respect copyright.PENANAgg2E7sWuS3
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.898Please respect copyright.PENANAaMYwPE9Xrj
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
