[ WP ] The zombie apocalypse has broken out in the suburbs of New York City . As it so happens , today also happens to be National Purge Day .

The siren, a grim reminder that the annual purge is happening. A time where you can act on every evil impulse for one whole day. How the government allows it still baffles me. Every year the bodies pile up, yet the next day we walk past people smiling. Not knowing if they are in fact the ones that and partied. Yet the purge is the furthest thing from my mind. The thing that happening right in front of me. A person who lives in the same apartment complex, I think his name is David or Dave I'm not entirely sure. Well Dave is currently being used as a chew toy by two people. Jesus I heard of cannibals out on purge but to see it on my front door step. Luckily they are n't armed, me on the other hand. A Beretta, its smart to be armed on this `` special'' day. I raise my gun and point it at these monsters. They do n't seem to be aware of my presence just concentrating on poor Dave. 
 
 `` Hey, you better get the hell out of here or else!'' 
 
 They continued to gnaw on the poor bastard. Between this and the noise outside, I feel as if I should just lock myself in my apartment. I can hear gunshots and explosions already, thankfully it sounds far off. I shoot near one of them to try to scare them. That got their attention, yet something about them seems off. I do n't know what it's the way they move. That's when I got a look at their face, their faces seemed blank. And they look hurt, they were covered in blood but too much blood to be Dave's. They were slowly making their way towards me, my god they were growling. 
 
 BAM 
 
 Suddenly some bastard just kicks open his door. He's armed with a friggin shotgun. 
 
 `` THIS IS MY RIGHT!!'' he screams as he shoots one of the two cannibals. I could tell he did n't put in hours at the range. He felt flat on his back as soon as he fired his first shot. Got to give it to him as he got one. Shot the poor bastards arm straight off. Yet he does n't even notice. Both of them jumped on him, guess they had room for desert. I could hear the sound of flesh being bitten off and his horrific screams. I grab all the courage I had and fired on one of the them. Four shots in the back but the bastard did n't even react. He gets up and stares right into my eyes. There's absolutely nothing there, I could sense his blood lust. He charges right at me. 
 
 BANG BANG two in the chest. He's almost at arms length. I close my eyes. BANG. 
 BANG 
 
 I do n't even want to know what happened. I'm okay since no one pushed me on the ground. I open one eye to see my would be attacker on the ground. The last shot got him right in the head. I still trying to figure out how this guy can be moving so fast after being shot 6 times. It's not humanly possible. The other had his head completely blown off by Shotgun Guy. He's on the ground crying. I keep my gun trained on him. 
 
 `` No sudden moves, are you participating?'' You ca n't trust people who play this sick game. 
 
 He looks straight at me, no wait he's looking past me. His eyes are widening. I quickly to turn around to see Dave get up. There's no possible way he could. The injuries he have, the loss of blood, he should be dead. That's when I see it he has the same eyes of his killers. I back away slowly as he starts making his way towards me. Damn my stupidity because the I trip on the body I just put down. How stupid that I let this guy be the cause of my death. Now Dave charges at me with the same intent as the other guy. I ca n't even manage to bring my gun, I'm paralyzed with fear. 
 
 BAM 
 
 it happened so quick, Shotgun guy blasted Dave. Dave was barely standing, BAM. Dave was down, then Shotgun guy set his sights on me. He gave me a look. 
 
 `` Well I'm really in bad shape here. Can you help me? I promise I wo n't hurt you'' 
 
 I just nodded at him. Do n't know why I was helping him. I knew what he was going to do yet I did n't want to be alone right now. With the madness that just went on right now, I needed someone to talk to. I get up and slip my gun into my back. Its crazy with all the noise happening no one came rushing out to see what was going on or even help. You can thank the Purge for that. I carry Shotgun guy to his apartment. I kind of though we should go o my apartment instead since my apartment still has its door intact. Not the best thing to do when everyone is trying to kill you. I lay him on his sofa as carefully as possible. He tells me he has a first aid kid in the bathroom under the sink. I get it for him, apparently he has little medical experience. He begins patching himself up. 
 
 `` So can you tell me what the fuck was that?'' `` I do n't know, your guest is as good as mine'' `` Were they eating Matt?'' `` Matt? Was that his name? I thought it was Dave...'' `` No it was Matt. He was going to come with me to... exercise our rights'' `` So you begin by kicking down your own door?'' `` Well I was excited, I did n't expect for two cannibals to treat me like their lunch?: `` Were they really cannibals though? I mean I never saw a person take that many bullets and still move as fast as they can'' 
 
 We heard a scream, it sounded as though it came from above us. A more gunshots coming from somewhere in our building. Then we heard something that sent a shiver down my spine. A kind of scream, no a screech that echoed through the building. 
 
 `` What the hell was that?'' `` I do n't know, but I think we should arm ourselves a little bit more'' `` I got this Beretta'' `` I think you should really arm yourself. check the backroom, pick anything you like'' 
 
 I look at him, Shotgun guy seemed to be in bad shape. His breathing seems strained. He looked pale, I knew he got hurt but he did n't seem that bad. I got up and went to see what was in the backroom. It was a cabinet filled with arsenal. I looked at everything. I questioned if I really needed it. I could just lock myself in my apartment till the day ended. But something in my gut told me that this is somehow different. I grabbed the assault rifle and slung it around my back. Two MP5, and a Glock which I'm going to hide. 
 
 `` Hey you done in there?'' 
 
 I step out, he kind of looked stunned when I came out. I do n't think he expected me to have gotten so much gear. 
 
 `` Do n't forget to put on body armor, all that shits no good if you just going to get shot'' `` Why are you helping me?'' ``.....if you did n't get that other guy off me..cough cough..I probably would have been eaten alive like Matt'' `` Thank you..uh'' `` It's Nathan'' `` Nathan, huh. Well you saved my life out there, you did n't need to do all this'' `` I do n't know why I did. I think as those monsters were munching on me....I... I was so afraid. *cough cough cough * his cough seems to be getting worse. I thought about what I was going to do tonight. I would have been like those monsters. People dying as they were afraid, seeing their own monster. I do n't want to die feeling like a monster'' `` It's okay you're not going to die. We going to wait this out'' `` I do n't think that's possible'' he shows me his hands, they were covered in blood. Not from the attack but from the cough. `` One thing I do n't get how Matt was able to get up. He was dead, no one `` COUGH COUGH COUGH `` Do n't try to speak, I wondered that too to be honest. His eyes were the same as theirs....blank'' 
 
 We both looked at each other for a while, an eternity to be honest. Another screech and another. They seemed to be getting closer and closer. I run outside to see if the coast was clear. 
 
 `` We should move this to my apartment, it has a metal door. It can hold up till the night ends'' SILENCE `` Nathan?'' 
 
 Nathan dropped to the floor and started convulsing. I try to hold him down but he pushed me away. I could n't understand what was happening. Then he went silent. I call out his name, nothing. That's when I saw his finger twitch. He sat up quick. I call out his name again, but nothing. He was silent, then turned to look at me. That's when I saw his eyes, the same eyes as Matt, the same eyes as those cannibals. I pointed the rifle at him and told him to just stay still. 
 
 SCREEEEEEEEEEECHHHH 
 
 Nathan who I was just talking with a moment ago was trying to kill me. I opened fired at him, but it had the same effect last time. Nathan full of holes yet he did n't care. He just wanted to kill me. That's when I had a flash back of the first time. When I closed my eyes, I shot at the head and the cannibal went down. 
 
 `` I'm sorry Nathan'' BAM. His brain was all over the wall and he was finally down. I could n't even process the thought of killing my savior before I heard more screams coming from the hall. I looked at Nathan one last time before I head out. I peeked around the corner to find a woman thrown from her apartment. Then some guy with a bloody machete. I was about to shoot this bastard, I do n't need this too. He kicked in the door to another apartment. And before I could get a clear shot, out came the resident of that apartment. An old lady who just jumped on him and took a bite out of his neck. The guy started screaming and hacking away at the old lady. I would've felt bad if I did n't know what he was doing. I was caught off guard when four people with the same look at him came. Probably a small gang enjoying their right. They all set their sights on the old lady. They blasted her to little bits, I do n't think they realize whats going on. A huge guy with a skull painted on his face kneed down to see how bad his companion is. He quickly got up and shot him. 
 
 
 That's when I heard more screeching coming from behind me. I saw more of them a whole lot more. They heard the loud noise and decided this is probably where the food is. I decided not to interfere. I went back to the apartment and hid. I had a clear view of the door, and if someone tried to come in... well I do what I have to do. I saw a group of the monsters just run past charging at the skull gang. Shots were fired. I heard screams, screeches mixed together. I slowly move towards the door to see what was going on. I saw that two of them were already victims to those monsters. While the other two were trying to fend them off. They deserve this.
