In a not-so distant future American society, life seems perfect. Unemployment rates have reached 1% and crime rates have hit an all-time low. Ironically because once a year, all crime is legal for 12 hours. Many participate, while others try and hide. James Tate used to be the one to hide and protect himself. But one Purge Night changed all that. Now it's that night of the year again, and James has a goal in mind. The only question he asks himself is if he can accomplish this goal while surviving the night. The Purge is trademarked by Universal Studios. This story is a fan-written novel based on the premise of the motion picture. WARNING: CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE AND ACTIONS. I would really love feedback, as well as some tips to better improve the story.
