The Purge

Eve of the Purge

        "Where am I?" I sit up on the couch. My nose was stuffy and my clothes were damped. I couldn't remember what've happened last night. I get off from the couch to move around. I went to check out the rooms in the house. 2 bathrooms and three bedrooms. Just old furniture filled the house.

     I had the urge to go to the restroom. I bet the water is completely off. I slide the door on the back of the house. I looked around. The woods were right ahead of me. Finally, some place you can go without disturbance. I went into the forest until the trees surround my view. (Camera moves to her head and lowers the sound to keep it appropriate.)

     I look up to the leaves and sky above me. I finished and pull my pants up. (Keeps camera at head) I walk out of the woods and head back to the abandon house.

        I feel hungry. Food and water needed for survival. Ugh. I forgettened about that. I look at the old clock that ticks away every second. It's 11:23 am. Wow, I've must slept for a long time. I know that my drunken father is at the bar. Mother is at work. Time to rob the house. Seriously, I can't find anything here that's worth some wealth.

      I ran out of the house and onto the abandon road. Once again, I am going back home. This was the second time I flee from madhouse. The first time, I was found by police and when I came back home, I was beatened.  "Steal money and get some food. They probably believe I am still at the basement." I told myself.
   
         I am near at the house. I can see the floating cars going by. Our technology is advance. Cars float from nitrogen and electro magnetic. Welcome to the future. I walked around the house. I saw the basement window is still opened. "Oh shit, the house alarm is on. How the heck am I supposed to get in?" I groaned in frustration. I just forget the house has a alarm. I walked to the front door. I can see the hologram pin lock upon the door. I know the pass code. I watch mother type it all the time. I swept my head for relief. I typed in 9009148. "Password correct. Access granted." Declares the hologram before fading. I hear a click. I opened the door. "Come on, Audy, rob the money. You don't know when the idiots are coming back." I told myself. I rush towards mom and dad's room. Dad's wallet is on the stand. I walk towards it and opened it. No money. "Damn you, dad, you kept on wasting your money to buy alcohol. No wonder why you're broke." I groaned.

        I walked out of the bedroom. "There got to be some money I can steal?" I am getting worried. I walk to the kitchen. My dad's other wallet. "Jeez, Dad, what's with you into wallets?" I commented. I opened it up. A five dollar bill. He's got like fifty dollars in this wallet. He won't even notice if a snatch two.

      I sighed in relief. "Thank good." I breathed. I walked out the kitchen and lock the house, so nobody will know that I broke in. I shut the front door. The hologram screen appeared upon the door. I began to run.

         I went to the biggest part of town. I went into a fast food restaurant. "What can I get ya'?" The cashier asks. "A small fry and a small coke, please." I replied. "That'll be $3.79." The cashier says. I gave her the five dollars. I've received $1.21 for change. I step aside and let the other customer older his meal. I lady behind the stand gave me a bag which contained the meal of what I had ordered. "Thanks," I said. I walk towards the table near the ladies restroom. I watch the people entering the fast food restaurant. I began to eat my fries. I finished eating and throw my plat away. I held onto my small coke. Then a woman entered in. Brown hair in a accountant suit. Oh great, not my mother. I rushed into the bathroom. I hide within the stall gasping. "I am not going to get caught, I am not going to get caught." I breathed. I left the stall and look around. I saw an exit doorway in the corner of the bedroom. There are two doors. One for entering and the other one the gateway to the outside. I am so worried that my mother will come me and see me. I will be brought back home for torment.

            I speed walk towards the exit.  I ran to the end of the parking lot. "Oh my, I almost got my ass handed from that," said I. I began jogging. The autumn breeze went through my hair. I can see my mother's car. Ugh. I really want to throw a stone at the window. No, I don't want to risk being arrested by the police.  I went back to the abandon street that contains the abandon house I was in. I slam the old door. I deep breathed.

        Then a memory pops in my head. "Oh shoot, oh shoot, It's the day before the purge, oh great, I am so going to die." I swept my hand upon my forehead. I look towards the living room and I saw the metal crowbar that I carried into this place during one hell of a stormy night. I know what the Purge is. The Purge is when everything is legal for 24 hours eve releasing the most wildest criminals within prison for the day. I survived the Purge many years now. How? I was beaten in the basement by my parents while they lock the doors. I wish they can go one day without trying to kill me.

       I walked to the windows and shaded them with ragged curtains. I check the doors and windows are locked. The house is still in good shape, I'm amazed. My only weapon is a crow bar. "Belongs there's blood on the other end and not touching me, I'll be fine." I said. "Oh no," I grunted. "I need food and snacks to be able to pull off for that day. I'm so screwed."

         I sipped my coke. I am almost broke yet again. I guess I skip meals that day tomorrow. "Skipped the meals for the Purge. Then when it's over report my parents for neglection." I suggested. "Sounds like one hell of a plan that I can be almost killed from. I got the placed looked and covered. I got myself a crow bar. I'll be starving however be treated nicely after the Purge. I am so going to die!" I burst into laughter.
