You never realise just how fleeting moments are until you experience them.

One night can be enough to completely take your breath away and change your whole life.

And in the end, nothing will ever be the same.

Halloween always left a bitter taste in Riley's mouth. While other kids went trick-or-treating, she was always stuck at home writing an essay or being all dressed up for one of her parent's parties.

University had changed a few things, but she never really embraced the holiday.

This Halloween was supposed to be different. Riley only wanted a fun night out after years of holding back, so sucking up the courage and partying with her flatmates seemed like a great idea.

She stepped out that day expecting far less than what she was in for, not knowing that a night of terror and kindled feelings awaited her. Because she didn't realise the one crucial thing.

They were not alone...

A standalone Zugzwang sequel.
