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.PENANApcEdXz3hcP
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.PENANAxxsOQw4QKf
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAf4KAF8zrxg
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.PENANABnOfFUsfEb
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!1197Please respect copyright.PENANAKm3qlsN23s
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.1197Please respect copyright.PENANA5ItkylmHsi
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.1197Please respect copyright.PENANA3F3QTarY0Z
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAfy6dqxBuht
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,1197Please respect copyright.PENANAWeAVZJitLM
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAetMwGtQ6vY
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!1197Please respect copyright.PENANA8tAhQct6yt
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you1197Please respect copyright.PENANAOI22yzUtte
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.1197Please respect copyright.PENANA3nCQCQlLWO
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.1197Please respect copyright.PENANATE9GQaPtdP
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!1197Please respect copyright.PENANAJN55TNZzOd
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAvK9yJA8Qi4
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAP8sijPTxe9
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.1197Please respect copyright.PENANA6ohwm5C8Ij
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being1197Please respect copyright.PENANAbFb49Mr7cX
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.1197Please respect copyright.PENANA2QJmzXPzJN
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAPtzIUw6wm6
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what1197Please respect copyright.PENANAysK3b2Whei
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAm5hXuASVEv
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.1197Please respect copyright.PENANADsNkZvQbRk
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably1197Please respect copyright.PENANAukWrBAfAi4
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two1197Please respect copyright.PENANAhgRFNlG4jL
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.1197Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZIo8IjRD5
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the1197Please respect copyright.PENANAeOVovS7lcc
door at the end of the hall.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5w5oBqwMC
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.1197Please respect copyright.PENANA20qUYt9OuT
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAqqS8y9gRRj
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle1197Please respect copyright.PENANACMJOiQ9jt1
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 1197Please respect copyright.PENANAdcT94573xK
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room1197Please respect copyright.PENANALKxj0A6amr
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part1197Please respect copyright.PENANAW9LxVSR3vc
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered1197Please respect copyright.PENANAZFeEIjGkci
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.1197Please respect copyright.PENANA9FLCDUU8Nm
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through1197Please respect copyright.PENANA1NApdRnzzK
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.1197Please respect copyright.PENANArSxZElmCuq
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded1197Please respect copyright.PENANAcaEKDkDOot
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead1197Please respect copyright.PENANASLcoRLYjJw
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.1197Please respect copyright.PENANATboVheg5rh
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.1197Please respect copyright.PENANAL57E9UmPSs
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
