Fan fiction for The Purge, one where a group of people holding out to avoid the Purge face betrayal..from within the family. More gruesome material than my usual, just fair warning.
A proud and prudish Catholic mom from the suburbs of Pennsylvania, Shawna Lynn McDonnell volunteers to act as a chaperone on the first field trip at her son's new school. But what Shawna doesn't realize is that, on this field trip, she will be the one getting an education; an education in what it means to have power and who, in the new and hellish landscape in which she finds herself, actually has it and whose is just an illusion.
A young man thinks back to a night with his dad and his friends, the violence that happened, and how there can be happy endings, for some people at least.
