Purge: Slaughter

Chapter 6

I think this is our death sentence. I remember being here during a field trip when I was 10. We went to the aquarium and to my surprise, we had a pretty fun time. I am more scared than ever. I make sure to remember what year it is. With all this night I forgot what the month is. Year 2023, March 21. Ok then I want my Funeral to be spectacular. What an I thinking?

No ones gonna come to the funeral. Its a good part of me that I still have a little humor to myself. We enter to a street rather than loud. A big sign reading ' WELCOME TO ATLANTA'. I don't really remember much but they change this sign every year to attract tours to come to our state. I have wanted to become a tour one day, for sake luck I have no money.

I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Ruben says I have to study for college ; I instantly say no because how on earth are we going to pay 30 thousand dollars for a college degree when we are broke.

The smoke of fear and death revolves in one place and enters my lungs. I cant exactly tell if the others can feel what I feel. I can see Lare a little weak ,too. I examine each face there is in this truck, little by little, I know they've had a lost too.

Despite that this evening has been ok, I'm startled that they haven't killed is yet. They might kill us here. In school, there has been about 200 deaths over the past years. Nobody talks about, actually were bot suppose to. Every teacher is suppose to agree with the purge. However, you don't see it in their faces.

Every purge morning, we are suppose to say a dumb pledge that never got me. 'United we purge' is one the phrases spoken in the pledge. United we purge evolves around my head and I repeat it until it makes no sense. Especially white people, referred as "Americans", purge every year. We take a test in how we think of this event. I, of course, absolutely lie.

There is a competition where kids from Elementary compete on a drawing of the purge. Words that mean and represents us. United we purge was invented by a 6 year old back in 2016. It became popular and she won 1,000 dollars. I have compete, for bad luck I dint win. Im not creative.

We see other people purging and committing these crimes that North America would never accept back then. We are still driving, when all sudden, a long car comes fiercely and stops us.
