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.980Please respect copyright.PENANAKUZXacbwz2
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to980Please respect copyright.PENANAGSyfSDNrFQ
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.980Please respect copyright.PENANAFwy23cNJEX
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.980Please respect copyright.PENANAlgBDXjDgC7
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!980Please respect copyright.PENANAcOWD9BWY0X
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.980Please respect copyright.PENANAf6CmQRSohH
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.980Please respect copyright.PENANAKZcywvE9z2
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.980Please respect copyright.PENANAJrcbvfkiJw
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,980Please respect copyright.PENANAxOmtZWdGp0
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.980Please respect copyright.PENANA3yRBgf0SYl
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!980Please respect copyright.PENANANGVChVVSHK
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you980Please respect copyright.PENANAcQOqWEO5ku
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.980Please respect copyright.PENANARhtsuko7nx
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.980Please respect copyright.PENANAQnVIuKCSid
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!980Please respect copyright.PENANA1NkPaVxYUZ
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.980Please respect copyright.PENANANsKtzbnwH0
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.980Please respect copyright.PENANAHEm8QBOY8b
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.980Please respect copyright.PENANAUXlWwHO8K0
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being980Please respect copyright.PENANA8y6yW3opRF
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.980Please respect copyright.PENANAndrQ51vo0y
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.980Please respect copyright.PENANAdaIu9NIdlr
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what980Please respect copyright.PENANA0IpCfNLxWc
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.980Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZG3gDIxYH
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.980Please respect copyright.PENANAtUt2UfISnU
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably980Please respect copyright.PENANADyP8dPuGVd
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two980Please respect copyright.PENANAtlXDJYjLjm
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.980Please respect copyright.PENANAfzqo3bjYUy
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the980Please respect copyright.PENANAvHsZQrstx9
door at the end of the hall.980Please respect copyright.PENANAWWcJ4HTfF5
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.980Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0KcRHUwaa
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.980Please respect copyright.PENANAEqpKYPh0Ia
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle980Please respect copyright.PENANATuvX3f1oY1
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 980Please respect copyright.PENANA8bGgUaOdEk
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room980Please respect copyright.PENANAa5VnEOcywz
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part980Please respect copyright.PENANAzdNrtLlTFB
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered980Please respect copyright.PENANAxm0PaKcPHA
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.980Please respect copyright.PENANAEkcCdmQhHB
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through980Please respect copyright.PENANAvf85DXlTaI
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.980Please respect copyright.PENANAI8lymQs8Bz
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded980Please respect copyright.PENANAJqRwrQmkSe
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead980Please respect copyright.PENANAQs4LEAYISU
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.980Please respect copyright.PENANAvJTwtYsbii
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.980Please respect copyright.PENANAKYXxUrfLeE
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
