The Wellness Score: A Psychological Thriller

THE WELLNESS SCORE - A Psychological Thriller

From author J. Letorney

Stay calm. Stay quiet. Stay compliant.

At Harbor Pines, a serene 55+ wellness community, every resident receives a bracelet at check-in.

You can’t take it off.

Just a pale blue number glowing on your wrist - a score built from your biometrics, your behavior, your obedience. And no one will explain what happens when your score drops.

Westwood arrived the way most do: alone, grieving, desperate for a fresh start. What she found was a compliance score no one would discuss, a “wellness program” built on decades of classified behavioral research, and a community that uses grief as its perfect entry point. The infrasound hums through the walls at night. The scents are engineered. The group activities aren’t therapy - they’re conditioning.

Behind the warm lighting and cheerful façade lies a controlled research environment. Residents who comply grow quiet. Manageable. Empty. Those who can’t be recalibrated simply disappear. Westwood has seventeen days before the score decides her fate. Harbor Pines chose her long before she signed the lease.

In a place that promises to heal you, compliance is the only cure.

THE WELLNESS SCORE is a psychological thriller about surveillance, grief, control, and the terrifying cost of compliance.
