The Line

The Line

An Adventure into the Unknown

Summary

A deceptively simple adventure into the unknown using only paper, a pencil and a single line

Wreck This Journal had a simple premise: destroy the book in all the ways you can imagine.

The Line is even simpler: find pencil, start a line.

As you move through the pages of Keri Smith's newest book, you'll be asked to let your line meander, explore the book's gutter, and jump around the edges of the pages. You'll hide your line, cut your line and even let someone else take over your line for a bit. The farther you get into the book, however, the more you'll discover that maybe things aren't as simple as they first seemed. The line has a mind of its own, and it's up to you to discover what's at the end of the line (hint: it's just the beginning).
