Free Fiction Monday: Chimera
Gen wishes she could escape that horrible day, the day she lost her world. Medical advances can rebuild her body but not her devastated psyche. For that, she needs therapy. And her therapist insists that she care for another creature—a chimera. Soon, Gen discovers that humanity hides in the most unexpected places. With “Chimera,” Kristine Kathryn Rusch delivers a haunting tale of love, loss and healing while expertly navigating the ethical debate about medical experimentation.
“Chimera” by Hugo-award winner Kristine Kathryn Rusch is free on this site for one week only. The story’s also available for $3.99 on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, Omnilit, Smashwords, and in other ebookstores.

That was harrowing and beautiful – I was so happy to find the hopeful ending.
That was gorgeous. I wish it had gone on longer!
Thanks, Abby!
I had a long drawn-out comment written, but deleted it. It was a dreadful, dark 2013. Your story comes to me at the right time. May 2014 bring light to all that need it. Thank you for a beautiful story that has graced me with some light.
Thank you, Matt. I’m glad you found the story.

Lovely story Kris. Thank you.
Thanks, Linda. 🙂
Wow. Beyond beautiful. Especially love this line: “Healing is not the process of returning things to the way they were before. It’s the acceptance of things the way they are now.” Wise and lovely. Thanks for another great read, Kris!
