It's a familiar nightmare, one Sunset Shimmer has experienced frequently since her defeat at the Fall Formal: her friends fail to stop her, Princess Twilight falls, and she invades Equestria with her zombie army. This time, however, the portal is destroyed before she can use it and she finds herself trapped in Canterlot High, along for the ride and out of control as her demonic self goes about its own egotistical way.

And this is, after all, a dystopia. The night is young, and the city is full of scoundrels to be attracted by the promise of power, discord and cheap thrills. Able to do nothing except talk with her goofy, sardonic host, Sunset will have to find a way to stay sane until she wakes up... assuming this isn't already reality.

Written for NaNoWriMo 2016. Set post-Seasons 5 (shortly after Friendship Games).
