Longhaul: A Story

Longhaul is a story designed for a long airline journey. It is a single, carefully structured narrative meant to be experienced slowly.

Instead of reading all at once, the story unfolds hour by hour, offering small moments of reading across a long flight. (If you’re not on a long flight, you can always pretend.)

When you begin, the first chapter unlocks immediately. Each hour after that, a new chapter becomes available. You can read, reread, and wander through the story at your own pace, but its rhythm is tied to time rather than pages.

Longhaul works best when you start just after you board a flight—though you can read it anywhere you like. Let the chapters arrive as gentle interruptions, small diversions between meals, movies, and the passing of clouds.
