"Escape at Sunset"

You hear the signal!  Quickly you get out of bed and collect only what is necessary, making sure not to disturb anyone or give yourself away.  Under the cover of darkness, you travel to the secret meeting spot and come face to face with Harriet Tubman, one of the conductors of the Underground Railroad.  You can hardly contain your feelings of excitement and anxiety as you begin your long journey north towards freedom.
