A Chimera is an illusion, or a phantom. For most they are considered a figment of your imagination.
But not for Ava Cross.
Ava spends her life surrounded by death. As a lowly receptionist working nights at a small town hospital, she sees more than her share coming through the hospital's emergency room.
But to her the tragic endings she witnesses from her position are more than just the scream of medical personnel working and the upset cry of families.
Ava sees the deceased loved ones as they linger to say goodbye to their families. She witnesses their final acts of love before disappearing forever.
And sometimes, she finds the ones who just can't let go...

Reflected sorrows
A lost, grieving soul enters the jaws of an insatiable beast, where the eyes of uncannily well-preserved paintings reach for her weary, lonesome corpse like crows. This mansion has no history to be felt or heard; it's as if the rooms are hollow and ravenous, their stale tranquillity broken by irregular draughts that send shudders down her spine as oppressive as the clattering of a needle to the floor. There lie secrets. Secrets and betrayals. In the mirrors, familiar faces crawl out from their eternal doom to grasp her pale skin and whisper trenchant advice into her ears with a sickly tongue, hearing her heartbeat like the ticking of a clock; candles that breathe within her. Those faces have lain so long in wait among the stitches and threads of madness, waiting for her arrival. Though the hours crawl onwards, she remains, watching and listening to the whispers of sorrow that lurk behind her at every acrimonious gust of wind howling through the mouth of the great beast. What awaits her within these halls, engulfed in oppressive, potent mists of grief? Who may she meet in the reflections of trembling malady? Through it all, that face haunts her every step. Yellow skin and seething eyes. Ink-stained and bloody. Cackling as insidious as death. Woeful as grief.Complete
