WARNING: IT'S A REMAKE OF THE PURGE!!!
"Help!...Help! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!" Screams of pain echo through the hallways as I cower in fear inside my closet. Mommy...
I woke up startled, sweat pouring down my back. Ugh, this dream again! All because of one stupid law they passed in 2018, all crimes are legal for one day. People don't usually think much about because they have the money to buy steel doors and windows that prevents anything from coming through. I'm not too familiar with this technology because I never had the money to afford it.
"Susan! Get your butt downstairs before your late for school you pathetic daughter." My dad yelled from downstairs. I flinched. Please return to your normal self....Daddy. Then I remembered what happens when I don't reply in 5 seconds....a beating.
"YES SIR!" I yelled back quickly before I actually get in trouble. May 1st, huh? Tomorrow is May 2...my dad has never been the same since that day. The day where May 2 was named Rampage For All. The day crime was declared legal. The day my mom got raped and murdered...
"Susan! Hello? Earth to Susan!....SUSAN DAN, HERE COMES MITCH" I quickly snap my head backwards, peering at the crowd in front of me. I narrowed my eyes, "Jane...it's not good to lie to your best friend" I smirked.
"It's not good ignoring your best friend for the past 10 minutes either" Jane countered. "Anyway, can you believe it? It's almost a year since Rampage For All! I wonder how many people are going to participant this year... I say at least 800,000 people." Tomorrow's May 2nd, so it's been 7 years since my mom's death.
"I say 900,000, Jane there's something wrong with your estimates. Shame on you. Espically since your the heiress of the Safe Heaven Inc." A arm sudennly wrapped around my waist. I whirled around, heart thumping and my brain praying. Is it....
"MITCH!!! GOOD MORNING" I yelled and launched myself off the sidewalk, tackling him down.
"Ahem, leave your love time some other times please. You better stop before this turned to Rated R actions." Jane smirked folding her arms.
"Oh please Jane, your just jealous my boyfriend is way hotter than yours." I shot back, smiling
"Aww is my girlfriend's bestfriend jelly? Should I get Dyce to come here?" Mitch smirked resting his head ontop of mine. I wish it will forever stay this way.
Time: 11:59p.m Date: May 1, 2025
"Emergency Broadcast! In exactly one minute, Rampage For All is about to start. Participants may now gather your weapons and get ready. Citizens who are not participanting, please stay inside at all times to avoid danger at all times. All emergency services will be suspended for exactly 24 hours. Weapons such as cannons, rockets, bombs are prohibited. Please refrain from destroying any buildings, houses, or any landmarks in New York..." Click! So it started...time to crawl back into my closet and text Mitch and Jane.
Time: 6:48a.m Date: May , 2025
"AHHHHHH!!! NOOOOOO!!!! SOMEBODY HELP ME!! PLEASE SOMEBODY!!! ANYBODY!!!" People were screaming everywhere. The sound of guns being shot is equally as loud, it's a total bloodbath out there. I crawled forward and shut my closet door tighter as my heart started pounding louder. My blood started flowing quicker, my breath became hitched. Mommy, why did you die? Even though I ask myself that question...I know exactly why my mom died. She was protecting me. I should have died that night, I should have repay the sins I commited 7 years ago. I was only 8 and had lost all my grandparents and relatives.They were all killed during Rampage For All. Why was my mom targerted? Why is it only my family? I kept on poundering over these questions until I feel into a deep slumber.
Time 11:59 p.m May 3, 2025
"Rampage For All has offically ended. All crime from now on will be illegal. Your Government Thank Your For Your Participation"
I slowly crawl out of my closet as soon as I heard that broadcast. "Dad? Dad where are you?" I called out, when I heard nothing. I slowly creeped downstairs to my father's room. The door was opened and light shone through the opening. I peered inside...BA-DUMP BA-DUMP. My eyes widened as my legs gave away. What is this?! Inside the bedroom is my father, all cut up into pieces. On the wall, written in blood says...
That was fun! See you Next Year Susan! Your Next! From Your Fate
