Touchless

by Donald Morrison

How do you fall in love when a kiss can kill? That’s the question seventeen year old Jennifer Diaz never thought she would have to ask. But that was when things were normal. Things are no longer that; normal. Now, along with her mother, a teenage boy named Michael and his father, she must find a way to not only survive in a world where touch can kill, but also finds herself contending with the ever-looming reality that she may just be falling in love. Touchless is a bleak, desolate love story wrapped in a tattered veil of survival. Skin to skin contact causes instantaneous death, and within days, most of humanity was wiped out. Now, these two families must come together while struggling to survive on their journey north. But a bigger problem hangs over them; Jennifer and Michael’s friendship is growing into something more, something that threatens their safety and their lives. This all culminates into one final, desperate act which promises to take their breath away.
