Touch
The last surviving city on Earth. The population is being slowly dwindled by the T-Cell Clone virus, a virus that evolved out of a mutated H.I.V. vaccination that is activated by touch. Evean James is a C.D.C. worker responsible for extracting new virus victims from the Live City to the the Dead City and for scouring the apartment buildings and apartments within the Dead City for its dead victims and disposing of their bodies. He lives a lonely guilt ridden existence. Hope comes when he has a chance meeting with Ada Green, a childhood friend who has now grown into a beautiful woman. They rekindle their friendship and struggle to develop an intimate relationship in a failing society with inconsistent and oppressive legislation where a mere touch could result in death.

I found this read to be enjoyable and yet it was simply too short ending in mid-scene.
I am not even sure if there will be a sequel or not.
However in its brevity it still managed to cover the concept of a life without physical touch.
In as much as a short story can, the characters were developed and I felt the plight of Ada.
I am left to wonder about her world and her fate.
I recommend this book to readers of the Apocalyptic and short story genres.
