I sat there looking at the count down in seconds as the purge siren began to go off. Five trust no one, four show no fear, three do not give into pain, two be the mystery of the purge, one silence those that hurt the innocent. The 2021 purge had finally begun I could already hear the screams and the sound of glass shattering.
Avoiding the obvious blood bath within the first half an hour I stick to my plan and prepare myself. Time pasted slowly as I sat down hearing pleads of help. I could not help them though they were only lambs to the slaughter getting me killed as well if I dared to help. Echoing through the hall screams started up again. I better get moving before they start knocking on my door. Reaching for the door handle gun rested by my side something did not just quiet feel right jumping to conclusions an ambush maybe. Looking at the crack between the door and floor the outside light is interrupted by a sly shadow. The shadow slowly moves down towards the ground. What are they doing, I think? Standing close to the door my eyes travel down to the ground. Now looking at the distance between my runners and the door. Then out of nowhere a long blade comes from the other side of the door and penetrates my foot! Swiftly the knife is move back to the other side only to come back under. I stagger back my foot bleeding out only a bit with the blade just stabbing it through my runners. I take my left runner off seeing blood start to stain the sock. Carefully taking my sock off too only see the front part of under my foot's
skin lifted up bleeding, where the knife went under my skin. Why did this happen why now I cannot give up I must finish what I started. I hop over to the medical cabinet and get a thick snake bite bandage it will have to do for now.
"Hahahaha" A guy says outside from my door.
"Why don't you come out, oh does your foot hurt?" He mockingly says.
Ignoring the guy, I wrap the bandage tightly around my foot making sure it's nice and secure for the 11 hours left of the purge. Lifting my sock over my injured foot I fit my shoe back over my foot. Each step I take feels like having barb wire stuck under my skin. To reduce the pain even more I take some pain killers to get me through the night. Now time to really face the purges first challenge.
