A strange little novella where the last living human is reduced to goop by aliens.

Chimera is a work that leans into discomfort, using disorientation and fragmentation as central narrative tools rather than incidental effects.

What remains most striking is the protagonist’s gradual attempt to reconstruct both memory and identity within an environment that resists stability. The narrative does not offer immediate clarity, and that restraint strengthens the atmosphere it builds.

The interplay between body horror, alien presence, and psychological erosion creates a sustained sense of unease. Rather than relying on isolated shocks, the work allows its tension to accumulate through implication and uncertainty.

This is a story that engages directly with the fragility of identity under extreme conditions, and it maintains that focus with consistency throughout.
