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.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAQ77OFU54bk
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to1197Please respect copyright.PENANA1oRfX7gvkk
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.1197Please respect copyright.PENANA1xKqJFkkHz
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.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAHKJaPCYllb
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!1197Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2ZSlZBdrU
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAjGZlFEZaX8
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAvLbBpLm4KZ
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAkBprQKOtB1
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,1197Please respect copyright.PENANACvofG5Odf0
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAvgSDtc7Sy2
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!1197Please respect copyright.PENANAcvBMVUMWOI
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you1197Please respect copyright.PENANAtwbQIYVKKj
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAsyNKYaPXpr
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAGjbwez97Ob
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!1197Please respect copyright.PENANAx8lsmg7V2t
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAv8MsNRk9GB
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.1197Please respect copyright.PENANADtGO247yo5
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAYbZ56JIgWe
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being1197Please respect copyright.PENANAOYPb3TLrXS
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAKoLIiICtYI
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAs1sebmv8fh
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what1197Please respect copyright.PENANA6OgAiwa9FD
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.1197Please respect copyright.PENANA6bMWRZPPgD
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAGOIOgkzW96
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably1197Please respect copyright.PENANAhXBD3CUDbJ
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two1197Please respect copyright.PENANApq8GyImMh1
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAFU3Ju3xrj1
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the1197Please respect copyright.PENANAU7ATurwob2
door at the end of the hall.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAltC2xvXoiw
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.1197Please respect copyright.PENANADTZHP1MOUH
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAtmNRInKJ5o
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle1197Please respect copyright.PENANACvgW5QxFEK
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 1197Please respect copyright.PENANAyUDjiuDcdv
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room1197Please respect copyright.PENANA8LUboNfWy1
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part1197Please respect copyright.PENANAQhovj8VKXb
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered1197Please respect copyright.PENANAsp527pImEM
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.1197Please respect copyright.PENANACWiqLl2rML
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through1197Please respect copyright.PENANAk4YQxZvu0d
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.1197Please respect copyright.PENANANzgnvP2bnf
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded1197Please respect copyright.PENANAkz32gX3eNQ
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead1197Please respect copyright.PENANAKdV9ic5FlM
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAMzfBTGrmtU
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAKId7HEGGSu
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
