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.978Please respect copyright.PENANAa3cKSQsixy
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to978Please respect copyright.PENANAMBLhziBOur
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.978Please respect copyright.PENANA44UxMfSfOv
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.978Please respect copyright.PENANAnKjRmpoBar
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!978Please respect copyright.PENANAIPHx4tOeCn
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.978Please respect copyright.PENANAylxgy0SZ36
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.978Please respect copyright.PENANAbxJL5x77zv
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.978Please respect copyright.PENANAmnUxPuQV51
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,978Please respect copyright.PENANApRoKYCPEzU
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.978Please respect copyright.PENANAUkcXe7ueHx
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!978Please respect copyright.PENANA3HGOMgN6LH
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you978Please respect copyright.PENANAyLxnYDe3uo
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.978Please respect copyright.PENANA6OlQKJOibd
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.978Please respect copyright.PENANA2tVJ0SWzjJ
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!978Please respect copyright.PENANAf3nMA68CHZ
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.978Please respect copyright.PENANAlKeZxS8klA
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.978Please respect copyright.PENANANf5YbzA5jy
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.978Please respect copyright.PENANAYaVWo1U73w
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being978Please respect copyright.PENANAuFDujVCpoG
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.978Please respect copyright.PENANAiFSKraqUmS
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.978Please respect copyright.PENANAOvWemLgV0k
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what978Please respect copyright.PENANAK62PmsO9NW
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.978Please respect copyright.PENANATNfsUMXkQS
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.978Please respect copyright.PENANAgO1uADKhZR
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably978Please respect copyright.PENANAavpnpB6NKU
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two978Please respect copyright.PENANAW3r3yaLwV8
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.978Please respect copyright.PENANACnQ92w14hs
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the978Please respect copyright.PENANAGULSNMsmWC
door at the end of the hall.978Please respect copyright.PENANASybbKSeYpJ
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.978Please respect copyright.PENANAyKpI3KmLv7
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.978Please respect copyright.PENANA2UIFQxWFpq
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle978Please respect copyright.PENANAN0gSw1sosU
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 978Please respect copyright.PENANA1PL5uk6s1X
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room978Please respect copyright.PENANAgdynDd1bUL
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part978Please respect copyright.PENANA1rriOeoeiw
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered978Please respect copyright.PENANAMO9vb7xrJG
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.978Please respect copyright.PENANAGaHmdMzbJ5
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through978Please respect copyright.PENANAlE2GpiHuPV
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.978Please respect copyright.PENANAZl9zQPd9xD
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded978Please respect copyright.PENANAOv30Ew6kWz
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead978Please respect copyright.PENANAp5yug6Jp4a
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.978Please respect copyright.PENANAITCPZNyF35
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.978Please respect copyright.PENANAVmyVqIVQrk
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
