The backstory . . .
One chaotic morning in June a quarter of the U.S. population found themselves unexpectedly housing a secondary alien consciousness, a Con, in their minds. Everyone is trying to find their footing in this new reality.

John is feeling . . . lonely.
His new stripes, horns, and quick reflexes set him apart from his fellow officers. A walk home, and a split second decision to defend a woman, and he suddenly has a new best friend.

Bri's coming out of her shell.
Bri thought she was married to a solid man, and if he's little more than a roommate, at least he's dependable, right? Wrong. The instant she gains scales and a forked tongue, he turns on her. Now, she's living a new life and making a new friend.

Or could he be more?
