Jason is a normal guy caring for his dying father, when a chance encounter with an alien symbiote changes his life in unexpected ways! Set in my "Tales of Empire City" universe. Also published on TGST and Royal Road
Honestly, I love Kathryn's writings, I discovered her stuff over on TGST, and frankly, she has wonderful worlds, several of which would make great RPG settings.
