Perhaps by the title, you have imagined a work full of mythological creatures, especially the Chimera, that beast with the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a dragon (according to some authors), the product of the union of the winged monster Typhon and the nymph Echidna.
But no, because here we will accompany Solomon Miles in a fight not against monsters, but against internal and external demons that do not allow him to advance as he would like, but through different experiences, he will forge a character for the future.
From "Chimera" we can take its less mythological definition and start from the idea of continuing to improve to fulfill a dream despite how difficult it is before our eyes, and that will be Solomon's struggle.
Elliot's partner was his whole world, but after Allan's death, his ghost haunts Elliot's dreams. Everyone tells Elliot to move on, but he isn't sure he can.
*****
It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living?
