Body Count

by Miles Luxemburg

Every touch leaves something behind.

Ava learned early that closeness comes with a cost. Orphaned after a traumatic accident and raised in the shadow of her aunt’s own pain, she grows into a beautiful young woman who has never felt truly connected to anyone.

Then an invitation through the social platform Chatter draws her into an exclusive world where elegance, intimacy, and companionship command a high price. Ava discovers confidence, freedom, and a life she never imagined—but each encounter leaves an invisible trace. As the buried trauma of others begins attaching itself to her, dark presences gather at the edges of her life. To escape them, Ava must uncover what they want and reclaim herself before the horrors hunting her consume what remains of her soul.
