Erosions

19 year old Galen has a lot on his plate. In the limited-resourced underground-as an only-child-his sole purpose in life is to take over his family's financially burdensome estate, thus replacing his parents. The only way he has out is to have a child of his own, and wait 20 years for that child to replace him as well. He longs to just disappear into the underground and be forgotten, but his parents have put in their 20 years, and so should he... A golden opportunity falls into Galen's lap, or rather, falls into his servitude-a sickly super-natural at the end of his rope-Osbourne. Osbourne seems violent, damaged and simple-minded, but his coveted power could solve all Galen's woes. Galen must choose to either take the easy way out, or do something unheard of; set a blood-thirsty super-natural with a grudge free.
