RE: Touch Starved

in #fiction7 years ago

Sorry, this is not completely related to a post.. but in series The Leftovers, there was one character who hired hookers for her. When hooker came in, she put on a bullet proof vest and told the hooker to shoot her in the chest. You could guess she had to get a new hooker every time.

In the series, she did it to feel alive.

Okay, now back to your post.

I couldn't imagine a scenario where I couldn't get to touch other people. This is one kind of eye opener how good society we have, as we can touch other people quite freely. Even a complete failure with antibiotics could lead into such a scenario and it's scary.

Sort:  

It would probably take a bit more than described in my story, but especially if touch is prosecuted, it would become harder and harder to find someone to just have contact with.
