[Serious] Travelers of lonely roads, explorers of the great outdoors, workers of creepy jobs and late-night shifts... What's your scary story? And why?

[[I had a Purge experience working at dawn]

When I was preparing for the entrance exam i used to sell handicrafts to supplement my income.

But I did it at dawn.

I was part of the "night atmosphere" and I witnessed some strange things and a particularly macabre one.

I came home around 3 AM and inevitably ended up meeting all the other people who worked at night too.

Trust me. There was a lot of people traffic on the road that I took.

On a certain day returning home with an empty city. I realized that even the sex workers were not working at that time and that was very unusual.

There was no movement of people.

Just a car or two and the city lights talking to no one.

But the absence of human beings bothered me a lot.

Much later on the way I saw a girl sitting crying.

Sobbing.

Shivering.

I could hardly see it because she was very shrunk.

That shivered my entire backbone.

I stopped beside her to see what was going on.

The girl had seen two friends die that night. That they would come after her and she had nowhere to go.

It was literally a night of extermination.

One group was executing sex workers.

That shit was real and it was intense.

I cycled 13 miles with her on the bike's back and took the girl to an hospital.

Busy place.

we were just at the reception

until she felt safe.

I saw the atypical night and the explanation of who lived in it.

It was one of the most macabre things I experienced in life:

an extermination.

a hunt.

of people.

I never saw a news story about that dawn.
