this novel is written in animated text. at certain points in the book, the words will begin to move or transform in response to what’s going on in the story. you trigger the animations by scrolling. if you miss something, scroll back and it will resest. scroll slowly at first, until you get a sense of pace. for added awsomeness, view in full-screen mode.

if you are reading this on a phone, try turning it sideways for a better reading experience.
