Hi my name is Maurice. I was a slave, and I’m going to tell you about the day, I ran away from my master. It was afternoon and I just finished milking the cows. My master was at a party in the town, with his wife. The life as a slave is a hell, and when you deny to do, what your owner asks for, you are just getting beat up. So I decided to run away. I looked down the road, and there were no people, so I started to accelerate and run for my life.
The train station in the town was near the house. So I didn’t have to run in a long time, in order to reach the train station. But what if one of the members, of the feared Ku Klux Klan saw me? I would get killed if they did, but the chance of getting freedom, were according to me, worth it. So I kept on running.
After a couple of minutes, I finally arrived at the station. I could see a train in the horizon, but I couldn't draw too much attention. So I tried to cover my face, without looking ridiculous. Sooner or later the train arrived at the station, and I started to run towards the train. Unfortunately my master and his wife were heading home, and they saw me. They started to yell "Stop that nigger" and "Stop", but I didn’t . So some of the men started to shoot at me, but fortunately they missed. I jumped on the train at the same time, as it started to accelerate. I hid in an empty train compartment and got away.
