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.882Please respect copyright.PENANA7TL58M1qzX
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to882Please respect copyright.PENANAMgJCBxEexl
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.882Please respect copyright.PENANAgPZTLBDyAs
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.882Please respect copyright.PENANATknCokkFMc
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!882Please respect copyright.PENANANoIKnNsGIO
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.882Please respect copyright.PENANAHdSLtnIpFU
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.882Please respect copyright.PENANAa54T4clv0k
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.882Please respect copyright.PENANAzQdTn2STcB
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,882Please respect copyright.PENANAmPJ63PGd4l
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.882Please respect copyright.PENANA8ve0Cclgjk
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!882Please respect copyright.PENANALox72pqAbE
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you882Please respect copyright.PENANAH9tigya9F9
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.882Please respect copyright.PENANAepcs2t5Nim
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.882Please respect copyright.PENANAxgU1uNQsFI
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!882Please respect copyright.PENANAfNg6TRakBJ
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.882Please respect copyright.PENANAG7ZFAd4Nm5
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.882Please respect copyright.PENANAvNBu95xfxn
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.882Please respect copyright.PENANAMQGBzx8UNG
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being882Please respect copyright.PENANARaTf13xdZM
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.882Please respect copyright.PENANAwZeLCOMs9s
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.882Please respect copyright.PENANAb2D6ZZeWzD
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what882Please respect copyright.PENANAyBpiO2iAIf
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.882Please respect copyright.PENANARt9xyYWmvM
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.882Please respect copyright.PENANAvEZVe6RnD3
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably882Please respect copyright.PENANAczEU4rfmtF
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two882Please respect copyright.PENANANivBlLwEj4
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.882Please respect copyright.PENANAmMcpoUsc0C
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the882Please respect copyright.PENANAv84rjwjM96
door at the end of the hall.882Please respect copyright.PENANATtQdha6UM3
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.882Please respect copyright.PENANACSsyQD6f7B
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.882Please respect copyright.PENANArl5zL6nvXE
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle882Please respect copyright.PENANA2apRfSW6mT
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 882Please respect copyright.PENANAMrKKsYLN9n
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room882Please respect copyright.PENANAWe5ZslRyU5
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part882Please respect copyright.PENANABh1lp4PLBY
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered882Please respect copyright.PENANAYkbfJ4OKDJ
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.882Please respect copyright.PENANAp7chum1s2F
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through882Please respect copyright.PENANA1Xp5gwEoyN
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.882Please respect copyright.PENANAG41w1M8iiv
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded882Please respect copyright.PENANAsgvfPjZcW6
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead882Please respect copyright.PENANAxJ5M3LzuVu
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.882Please respect copyright.PENANAY0ReTnEe1G
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.882Please respect copyright.PENANAAgr42SuoSM
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
