This was your second night going through the purge, it was obvious that you were scared, since your house being in the city center you could easily be a target of someone's crimes, even more so because the security around the house was not good, with a low wall, an easy-to-break door, and windows with fragile glass. But so far nothing had happened, luckily for you, you spent the purge night at home, awake, obviously.

It was another one of those nights, you were in your room, unable to sleep due to the anguish and anxiety for the night to finally end. Being awake, you easily heard the sound of the front door being opened. You went into complete despair, there was no way to defend yourself from anyone with bad intentions, the only solution you found at the moment was to escape through the bedroom window and abandon the house.

You did that, but there was still a bigger problem, you were homeless, totally vulnerable, and lost in the dark streets, carrying only your cell phone in your pocket. You walked in despair looking for a place that seemed less dangerous to you, found an abandoned building, and stayed there until you heard someone's footsteps, scaring you again.

"What are you doing here alone? Are you crazy?" It was a man who seemed to be your age, he was armed, which obviously scared you, but he didn't hurt you, in fact, he approached you carefully. Despite the irritated and somewhat indignant tone of voice, he was gentle at first glance.
