"Touch Me" by James Moloney explores the emotional and physical complexities of adolescence through the eyes of its protagonist, a young boy navigating the challenges of growing up. Struggling with feelings of isolation and the desire for connection, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery. The story delves into themes of friendship, first love, and the struggles of adolescence, as he learns to confront his fears and embrace vulnerability. As he grapples with the importance of touch—both emotional and physical—he discovers what it truly means to connect with others and himself in a world filled with expectations and uncertainties.
