Jack couldn't help himself,he had to help this kid.He quietly pressed the disarm button and the house's defense rose up.The 3 men didn’t notice as Jack stepped out,he looked around to see that nobody else near them.He took out hi pistol and aimed it at the 3 men.”Stop.” Jack said in a calm but quiet voice.The 3 men abruptly stopped and looked at Jack.The wind was blowing and it was freezing outside,but Jack was sweating,he was nervous of what was going to happen.The 3 men with masks slowly walked up to Jack,weapons raised.Jack had military training,and using his skills he calculated their attack,and his defense.The 3 men all had baseball bats,some spiked and others made of metal.The one with the spike came and swung the bat at Jack,he ducked right in time as the bat went over his head,Jack than hit the man in the gut and took his weapon.Now armed with a bat Jack hit one of them in the face.With the spikes nailed to his face,the man he fell to the ground as blood trickled down his cheek.The other two me came

togehter,they were trying to flank Jack from both sides,Jack quickly pulled out his gun and he hesitated for a few second.Then a man tackled him,right before Jack pulled the trigger.Of the three men only one was left,he quickly found an oppurtunity when Jack fell to the ground his gun flew ot of his hands.He tried to jump on Jack with a knife,Jack was barly holding the knife from his thoart.Jack felt weaker,the knife now touched his thoart and he felt blood.Right when Jack was about to give up,there was a loud BOOM!And he felt pain. Jack was alive,his hand was throbbing,but he was alive.He threw the dead body of him and started to get up.The bullet was fired from the teenager he had save,it went through Jack’s hand and hit the last of the three men.He looked around the chaos”Let's get inside.”Jack ordered the kid.Inside Jack rushed to get more ammo and food in a backpack.”What are you doing?”The kid asked curiously.”Everyone heard that.”Jack replied “We need to get out of here.”He quickly bandaged his hand and rushed out the door.Outside the kids said “These men were part of a purging party,his friends will be here soon.”Just on cue,Jack saw lights coming towards their location. The only way out looked like the sewer system,he ran over to the manhole and the kid followed him.They both grunted as they lifted up the manhole.The kid slide down the ladder first and then followed my Jack.Right when the vehicle full of the purging party arrived the manhole was closed.The sewage system smelled like a waste,Jack covered his mouth with his shirt and the kid did the same.Flicking on his flashlight they continued down the only way,straight.About an 1 hour waging through waste,they finally arrived at another manhole.Checking his watch the kid said”We have 10 hours of the purge left.”Nice”Jack replied with no enthusiasm.When they got out of the manhole it looked like they entered an abandoned warehouse.

There were boxes everywhere and it cracks in the walls,you could also smell the fresh salt air.Must be near the bay Jack thought.Then almost out of nowhere Jack held the kid by the arm and forcefully dragged him behind one of the boxes.”What are you doing!”The kid started to shout but the Jack held his mouth shut and whispered “look.”The manhole started to open again,and out of it a group of purgers rose.”Leave one man here to take guard,others follow me.”calmly said the leader of the group.A weak member of the group,fell against the wall,when he took off his mask Jack remembered him as the guy with the spikes in his face.He had bandaged half of his face from the injuries.Jack motioned the kid to stay still,the purger was on the wall so Jack had to surprise him.When Jack had gotten close he accidently stepped on a few broken glass parts.The purger stood up and took out his weapon.And walked towards Jack.When the purger got close Jack quickly disarmed him and the purger fell on the ground.Jack then took out his knife and was ready to end the purger.Then there was a loud BOOM! Putting his hands to his stomach Jack felt blood trickling out.The pain was really bad,but Jack managed to turn around and face his killer.Falling to his knees Jack tried to look up,only to see the kid he saved holding a gun to Jack’s head.”Why.”Jack muttered blood coming out of his mouth.The kid only smiled saying one word “Goodnight.”And then another gunshot.

Anthony’s Scary Story “TEN MINUTES TILL THE ANNUAL PURGE” The announcer said. That’s all I heard, that’s all anyone heard on this day of every year. I couldn’t help it, I had to run for it and bolt to my house. When the psychos heard this it’s dinner bell for them. I ran faster and then I saw it, the white van. It stops and the Purger steps out and see’s me and I know he has a devilish smile on. I turn around and run faster, and I hear the sound of his boots on the hard pavement chasing me. I turn down an alley and he chases me down that. I turn my head and see his scary mask with blood on it and his baseball pointed at me. I look down and he has a pistol with in his pistol holder. I start frantically looking everywhere for a door to try and survive. I see a door and kick the door open and run into there and hide behind boxes as he runs past me and out of the building. I st behind the boxes for hours on end and thank God that I have food on me. I start to hear footsteps walking in the building and I stop eating. I look everywhere for a weapon and find a metal pipe. I clutch that with all my life as the walking continues. I look around the corner and I see what is possibly the purger again so I wait. I wait for a long time and then he talks. “Is anyone there? I’m here to help, I’m part of a group that helps people that are stuck in the purge.” He says

I stay quiet and keep waiting clutching the pipe more. He starts walking again, getting closer to the boxes. I hold my breath and he walks away from the boxes and stupidly, I make a run for it and that’s when he grabs me by the arm. “Kid listen to me, I wanna help you. I’m not lying to you! Listen to me kid.” He said again as his voice trembles. “No let me go, I can’t trust you! I can’t trust anyone in this time!” I say trying to break free of his grip. He let’s go and he tries to show me a sign of trust. I shake hands with him now knowing that he is a good guy. I get my pipe and that’s when we hear it. The door swings open and the chase begins again. I grab this guy's arm and pull him as we start running fast. The purger swings his bat and hits the metal wall as he misses us. We run through the streets and through a lot of alleys, and we trip a couple times on bodies of the fallen ones. I almost puke when I see this and the guy helps me up and we start running faster. Then the purger catches up to us and we hear the van roaring after us. We keep running faster and we see an asylum and we run toward it. The asylum is on a rough rocky hill which is hard for cars to drive up. The purger pulls up behind us and we turn around and smirk at him and he takes his pistol out and points it us. We start running faster up the hill and try to get to the asylum. We enter the doors to the building and we look around. “Go to the left side and i’m pretty sure there's a cafeteria on the left side and I’ll go to the right to try to find some weapons.” I say “Ok, will do be sure to come back as soon as possible.” He says

“Will do, trust me� I smirk and walk away He walks toward the cafeteria and goes to the kitchen portion. As he walks he hears all the patients in the building seeing as it’s still running and he walks more. I go the opposite way and wait for the purger. As the purger enters he falls as fast as he did enter. Someone takes his weapons and his mask and walks toward the cafeteria. As the shoes hit the ground hard the screams of pains and a gunshot echo through the building and the man worries. I enter the cafeteria in the purger outfit and smile and shoot down the guy and walk out. I smirk evilly and twitch a bit and enter my room in the asylum and silently go to smile covered in blood.

A Cleansing- Jay “This is not a test. This is your emergency broadcast system commencement of the annual Purge, sanctions by the U.S government…” The radio drowned on. “Finally” I thought to myself. A smile formed across my face and only got wider as I heard the first gunshots of the night. It was time to cleans my soul and let it run free and rampant. I floored my car across the bridge I was driving on leading into the city. If I only have 12 hours to cleans “I better make it count” I thought to myself. My first victims was a couple who looked as if they had been sprinting, probably to make it back to the safety of their home before the real fun began. I speed up and blocked of the sidewalk they were running on to trap them in and block all exits of escape. Slowey I opened the door of my car, letting it creak as it opened as widely as possible. I got up from my car and stood up, slowly twirling my machete in my right hand. From under my white mask, I remained hidden in plain sight. I can distinctly remember the look on their faces, a mixture of .fearfulness
s and helpfulness, invoked upon them by their inevitable fate. The look they gave to me practically made me practically trembled with excitement. After about a minute, I begun to start
8
to walk to the couple. Menacingly, I put one foot in front of the other while twirling my machete in the fingers of my right hand. All I could hear were my footsteps, the sound of my machete slicing through the cold, still air, and the sobbing of the couple, who had now retreated to a corner as if to savor the last few seconds of life. Soon I was all but a foot away from the couple, their helpless faces bringing joy to my own. With one quick clean strick, the couple dropped to the ground in a pool of blood. I felt the excitement pump through my veins. All I could think about was my next cleansing. It wasn't long after until I spotted my next victim. This time however, it was clear that this man was also cleansing his soul and participating in the Purge. He was holding a bloodies axe, just waiting on the sidewalk, staring at my car. He seemed to practically be waiting for his demise and death. Thinking about this brange a smile to my face. I pulled by car over to where he was standing and lowered my window. He could not see that the joy on my face since it was hidden under a blood spattered white mask. Suddenly the man swung his axe, but he was too late. With three shots from my gun, he fell to the ground, staying the road a deep red color. My smile widened from underneath my mask, however all I could think about my next victim, as I drove off, leaving the body on the sidewalk. I decided that it would be best to continue my cleansing downtown in the main part of the city. While on the highway traveling down-town, I noticed a hooded figure, that appeared to be a woman. I smiled and stopped my car. I stepped out of the car onto the cold, back, asphalt of the highway, bare without it’s usual cars and traffic. Menacingly I made my way to her, again twirling my machete as I did before. However, she took not one step back, nor look fearful of her impeding fate. Soon we were but inches apart. I was smirking underneath my mask, savoring the
9
thought of my blade slicing through her soft, delicate skin. Slowly, she made her first move, reaching into her pocket and pulling out a square mirror. She then resumed standing, perfectly still, holding up the mirror. As I looked into the reflection of me standing there, holding my machete, I laughed. “That won't protect you from me” I said. I took the first swing. I looked at her. She did not seem remotely hurt. I moved my eyes down to the mirror. I had missed and cut myself, straight through the stomach. I swung again, however the cut in my stomach had only gotten deeper. Frustrated, I decided to stab. As I jabbed towards her, I felt a great pain in my stomach. Blood was seeping out of my body onto the black asphalt of the highway. I collapsed to my knees, with a machete logged into my abdomen. More blood began to seep out of my body and hit the ground. I collapsed on my back,covered in a pool of my own blood. The woman leaned over me and said “You were right. Those weapons can’t save you from yourself.” With this, she walked off. All I could hear was the the click of her boots. As I lay their, may face, hidden under a red mask, looked peaceful. I had finally cleansed my soul.
