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.901Please respect copyright.PENANAsyOmHIlzfX
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to901Please respect copyright.PENANARDlgDkzuiR
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.901Please respect copyright.PENANAcQdFrNJUHb
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.901Please respect copyright.PENANAgANOajhqPk
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!901Please respect copyright.PENANAtlsWxXsC4S
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.901Please respect copyright.PENANANAwBzu8URx
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.901Please respect copyright.PENANAPqqhbfln3a
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.901Please respect copyright.PENANAjY3JcjthxF
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,901Please respect copyright.PENANAKFqy5VLaBH
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.901Please respect copyright.PENANACsX7nONQRv
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!901Please respect copyright.PENANAQTcaHgYEWF
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you901Please respect copyright.PENANAtclUCDQ6gX
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.901Please respect copyright.PENANAjLf59D6c6h
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.901Please respect copyright.PENANANbm2hiC7ty
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!901Please respect copyright.PENANA5Ngeq9zOx3
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.901Please respect copyright.PENANAvPzYphw8ZQ
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.901Please respect copyright.PENANAQt7gvRtKEY
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.901Please respect copyright.PENANAt71PqslY5X
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being901Please respect copyright.PENANAHYEjWUChBI
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.901Please respect copyright.PENANAzRxrpNWjKT
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.901Please respect copyright.PENANAU74Z5alHMz
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what901Please respect copyright.PENANAHxMkylMwve
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.901Please respect copyright.PENANAwPpRuQN7Um
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.901Please respect copyright.PENANAtzOZhb6GyB
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably901Please respect copyright.PENANA5EEOidExUZ
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two901Please respect copyright.PENANAwbcUZPpTnS
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.901Please respect copyright.PENANAroM2uk347U
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the901Please respect copyright.PENANArt0V1xpr4O
door at the end of the hall.901Please respect copyright.PENANAJsCiHqpKbu
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.901Please respect copyright.PENANA089mn1F3Ds
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.901Please respect copyright.PENANASIT9I8UPhY
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle901Please respect copyright.PENANAVCkvPTwOoh
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 901Please respect copyright.PENANAkwYTr7AErW
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room901Please respect copyright.PENANARqpgDZX6yN
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part901Please respect copyright.PENANAikYef61hJl
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered901Please respect copyright.PENANAYe4KGffLJa
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.901Please respect copyright.PENANAOJ6HV9DZLZ
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through901Please respect copyright.PENANAiwazC2m3wF
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.901Please respect copyright.PENANAYYHtaNCdYB
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded901Please respect copyright.PENANA80c9C45226
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead901Please respect copyright.PENANACCcCSrpJKl
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.901Please respect copyright.PENANAUnadHKMmVk
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.901Please respect copyright.PENANAOxDW03GqZu
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
