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.725Please respect copyright.PENANA1VZafxxWuf
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to725Please respect copyright.PENANA03Nzw7zwX4
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.725Please respect copyright.PENANAENOgz6dtoe
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.725Please respect copyright.PENANA9ag7tpnLcy
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!725Please respect copyright.PENANA2tWJFpPDqk
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.725Please respect copyright.PENANAhOwCMWY9Ou
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.725Please respect copyright.PENANAHpQ8y1eiTw
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.725Please respect copyright.PENANA6f4c3vgKcO
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,725Please respect copyright.PENANAwDssa6pAkW
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.725Please respect copyright.PENANAIewtnMJZ8I
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!725Please respect copyright.PENANAB13mplf7ye
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you725Please respect copyright.PENANAw1hJrjtAmB
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.725Please respect copyright.PENANA3sYQ9ZlkTf
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.725Please respect copyright.PENANAbBRuP87CEV
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!725Please respect copyright.PENANAXgaZtvs3wJ
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.725Please respect copyright.PENANAgqM5DaAc13
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.725Please respect copyright.PENANAx4psM58Nxe
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.725Please respect copyright.PENANA1l1rMX8xOR
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being725Please respect copyright.PENANAqNTIwd9CrX
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.725Please respect copyright.PENANAqK4QqtlxL3
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.725Please respect copyright.PENANAF5ZWiAy2Za
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what725Please respect copyright.PENANAgllxErPHJR
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.725Please respect copyright.PENANA3HTBTrChHH
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.725Please respect copyright.PENANA5BVVncwQaD
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably725Please respect copyright.PENANAmsXC6Z0Xjx
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two725Please respect copyright.PENANA4relInjtKc
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.725Please respect copyright.PENANA7a1J3HxUvd
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the725Please respect copyright.PENANA9hsDi7OCPz
door at the end of the hall.725Please respect copyright.PENANAPbfn4o6Yl6
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.725Please respect copyright.PENANA895hZ0pyPl
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.725Please respect copyright.PENANAhAFUmNUYIx
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle725Please respect copyright.PENANAV0QvdnZMsw
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 725Please respect copyright.PENANAHM20OKX9Dj
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room725Please respect copyright.PENANAsHMB73K5oB
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part725Please respect copyright.PENANApsgmzDEN0S
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered725Please respect copyright.PENANAHNihTYZoPd
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.725Please respect copyright.PENANAbv2t9WIXiL
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through725Please respect copyright.PENANAxPwCHQ66b0
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.725Please respect copyright.PENANAUQv1j7bdfl
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded725Please respect copyright.PENANAyvNTfjxhjL
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead725Please respect copyright.PENANArQ6Deknqmz
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.725Please respect copyright.PENANAtIa6pTdfbp
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.725Please respect copyright.PENANA7c6quz7NiD
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
