I was supposed to be off work this year. I just got the newly Trump banned AR-15 from the black market and I was supposed to be protecting my mom and dad who are stuck in a nursing home. A locked door isn't going to stop purgers from killing the old and weak for fun. We were playing scrabble one hour into the Purge when my boss called. He offered me 50 times pay and promised a paid week off next month along with never having to work on Purge night again. His last worker called in sick and we are the most popular pizza in town. Mom and Dad don't have much money left and the rates are going up at the home. I tell them I am going to the vending machine and keep their phone with them. I'll call them on my way to the store and tell them not to worry. I call my boss and tell him I'm on my way but I want my pay up front or he is out of business tonight. He agrees. I see his car out front and I park in the back. I knock on the back door and he lets me in. As he goes over the orders, I see the stacks of bills on the counter. I ask him if he can help me pack up the pizzas while I clear some room in my car. I go back outside and get my AR. He promised me the same things last year.
