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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAqesA8mjM6X
One place I have never gone was the Masters room. The Master claimed he simply did not want me in there as not to890Please respect copyright.PENANAkjhD8ngcaZ
mess up his carpet. He thought I was a very filthy child, his wife says black girls carry disease.890Please respect copyright.PENANAtZU31Migs7
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.890Please respect copyright.PENANAKuredULjlH
Danger would not hold me back, because danger carries excitement!890Please respect copyright.PENANAaE1Y9SbnFN
I sat in a dark basement room, my seven year old sister lay on a filthy bare matress.890Please respect copyright.PENANATLhvv4GKfJ
It was accompanied only by a small sheet licked with mud.890Please respect copyright.PENANAPlp7tjbwMM
It was her turn on it tonight, so I get to sleep in the corner.890Please respect copyright.PENANABjpDdwVvjy
Neither of us have names, we don't talk much either. We have little time to talk,890Please respect copyright.PENANAN7iZeL9GNX
we need as much sleep as possible so we can work well the next day.890Please respect copyright.PENANAeLs9260Rq5
None of this matters. What matters is the mystery behind that door!890Please respect copyright.PENANAA57pNOjRnP
I sat with my legs crossed on a wooden chair. The thin layer of white paint was mostly pealed, but you890Please respect copyright.PENANAWfCfSNEMFI
can hardly tell because of how dimly lit the room is.890Please respect copyright.PENANATKSHhcQjA9
I began a lengthy plot, it made my head hurt at how complicated it was.890Please respect copyright.PENANAkdbLG4w5No
Then a smile spread across my face, it would be so easy!890Please respect copyright.PENANAUcduskg7Pe
They don't even lock the doors at night, all it takes is a disguise.890Please respect copyright.PENANAqNNFrg9d0w
The gaurd is so out of focus, he is probably asleep on the floor.890Please respect copyright.PENANAwXGsN1fyr9
It's so dark, they would hardly recognise me.890Please respect copyright.PENANAPYi56IjIAM
I crept up to my sisters spot on the bed. "Hey." I whispered gently, being890Please respect copyright.PENANAVpRYOu6ap6
cautious not to scare her. She yawned and rolled over. "Hey!" I whispered more harshly.890Please respect copyright.PENANA5AhTQd81uN
Her eyes peeled open. "What is it?" She muttered, her voice cracked a little.890Please respect copyright.PENANAEuBrlmxnN7
"Shush, I need your sheet real quick." I shot quietly. "I'm going to figure out what890Please respect copyright.PENANAcMOQYy1EVj
is behind the door." Her eyes darted towards mine. "Are you crazy?" She said grimly.890Please respect copyright.PENANAr9bLv2ScGn
"I guess." I smirked. She shoved the sheet to my hands. "Be quick." She warned.890Please respect copyright.PENANAcXGPWSejH7
I put the sheet over my back, I tied it around my neck. It probably890Please respect copyright.PENANA8E1FcKvWfs
looked exactly like the masters wifes shawl. I gently nudged open the door, I took two890Please respect copyright.PENANAwHHEK2Spqc
dainty steps up the small 'corrider'.890Please respect copyright.PENANArALBrMQggi
I stood in the middle of the hall, I slunk around the corner and caught sight of the890Please respect copyright.PENANA9Yl9Gv9q7K
door at the end of the hall.890Please respect copyright.PENANAYRU5NPu4Ob
I bunched the shawl together, and I smiled when I caught sight of the sleeping servant.890Please respect copyright.PENANAGkpWxjc7DQ
All I needed to do was take a peek in and dart away, they'll never know it was me.890Please respect copyright.PENANASqjgNu1qxv
I crept down the hall, a chill ran down my spine. This was it. A bright unmoving candle890Please respect copyright.PENANAce0jNgpXLW
light could be seen under the door. I cracked it open, and nearly tripped when I 890Please respect copyright.PENANASr5kiQpYbm
saw what was inside. Thousands of bulbs of light hung from the walls, they lit the room890Please respect copyright.PENANARdeOzBJgZB
up so bright they made my eyes sore. That wasn't the best part, the best part890Please respect copyright.PENANAFVgVVvRgZj
was the giant pearl-white portal in the middle of the wooden floor, it glimmered890Please respect copyright.PENANARGIVxfq9yx
invitingly, and it seemed to hold a hand out to me.890Please respect copyright.PENANAu9xckD3CQb
I walked towards it put my hand in. I had a sensation of peace and safety go through890Please respect copyright.PENANADi8Q6O4cqN
me. I didn't hesitate, I just dove.890Please respect copyright.PENANArIAqpJJJmJ
I slammed into the concrete ground of another reality. I arrived in a crowded890Please respect copyright.PENANAMYx7litZb7
street filled from end to end with many different races. I looked ahead890Please respect copyright.PENANAJPajXc0pnK
of me and saw a beautiful green lady holding the torch of freedom.890Please respect copyright.PENANAIf5oAYexu9
She looked over me, and then I knew the time of slavery has ended.890Please respect copyright.PENANAki6k821Qi6
Someday my sisters children would hopefully live in this too.
(This only took an hour. I write too fast, do I?)
