Touch — Claire North

Your violent death usually triggers the first switch. Just before your life ebbs away, your skin happens to touch another human being -- and in an instant, your consciousness transfers completely to the person you touched.

From that moment on, you can leap from body to body with a touch of the skin. You can remain for a minute, an hour, a lifetime, and after you leave, the host has no memory of the time you were there.

My name is Kepler. I could be you.

For me, the carefree life of jumping between bodies has become a terrifying nightmare. I am being hunted. I don't know who. I don't know why.

If you've read this far, our lives have already touched. Now you are part of the conspiracy too.

Get ready to run.
