Beyond the book · Story Shuffle

A story that doesn't play the same way twice.

Each Story Shuffle is one story told in eight recordings. Press play and four of them string together into a route — about fifteen minutes, start to finish, no tapping, made for driving. Play it again and it takes a different path. Same story, and it can end more than one way.
