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.1196Please respect copyright.PENANAOt1p6yGCL9
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to1196Please respect copyright.PENANAdIYv21CULh
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.1196Please respect copyright.PENANAqEF2pMtzjQ
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.1196Please respect copyright.PENANAM58ICCUzDE
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!1196Please respect copyright.PENANAiUwZMqnkN2
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.1196Please respect copyright.PENANA6dDyJWxxvg
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.1196Please respect copyright.PENANAnndY9BVdyt
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.1196Please respect copyright.PENANATlKyUYb3LM
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,1196Please respect copyright.PENANAvNRSzOheLO
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.1196Please respect copyright.PENANAV06hSflcdh
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!1196Please respect copyright.PENANAr2MX7o9hAQ
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you1196Please respect copyright.PENANAMmHNlqhj9P
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.1196Please respect copyright.PENANA5ghpzNhHJ0
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.1196Please respect copyright.PENANAUqj85Fhzv0
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!1196Please respect copyright.PENANACuixpKBASJ
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.1196Please respect copyright.PENANA8vd5UPB60u
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.1196Please respect copyright.PENANA3jXUdCFYBu
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.1196Please respect copyright.PENANA6AzkANWYSm
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being1196Please respect copyright.PENANAewHfhAtVKg
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.1196Please respect copyright.PENANAbmWPAtIF8g
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.1196Please respect copyright.PENANAveJT511h65
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what1196Please respect copyright.PENANAyhDAXrMR08
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.1196Please respect copyright.PENANAlZ5lSlbKNh
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.1196Please respect copyright.PENANAfbAF4ZPlm9
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably1196Please respect copyright.PENANAob2tJnp4xW
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two1196Please respect copyright.PENANAytHJCqDoii
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.1196Please respect copyright.PENANAcR0vivAdHF
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the1196Please respect copyright.PENANAzd5yR43evd
door at the end of the hall.1196Please respect copyright.PENANAikKkYdHDxu
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.1196Please respect copyright.PENANAd8a5BplMsl
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.1196Please respect copyright.PENANAGm5DE5wIK8
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle1196Please respect copyright.PENANAgM7OZJxC7G
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 1196Please respect copyright.PENANADnfLPEGLuP
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room1196Please respect copyright.PENANApK8fs3Zg32
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part1196Please respect copyright.PENANAw7WuYuWXtE
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered1196Please respect copyright.PENANAVG52VsKSYA
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.1196Please respect copyright.PENANAVrMy8r4Qty
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through1196Please respect copyright.PENANAeQAF4SJcv8
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.1196Please respect copyright.PENANAUjirT8lTEF
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded1196Please respect copyright.PENANA0liLxRXaiO
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead1196Please respect copyright.PENANAAugMXLXNBb
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.1196Please respect copyright.PENANAc0iqCAxPLH
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.1196Please respect copyright.PENANAATwogxfVxr
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
