A sharp autumn wind cuts through the night as Halloween takes hold, providing cover for the predator waiting within. The air inside Elisabeth's crowded house is thick with the smell of spiked punch and fake blood. The college crowd mills about in their grotesque costumes—growling werewolves, preening cats. Among them, a figure stands out in torn, dirtied zombie rags. It's Norman, the history student with those piercing blue eyes. I watch him, my heart beating not from fear, but from the coiled excitement of the hunt. Tonight, the masks come off. Tonight, the conversation starts.
