Does anyone have a piece of longform journalism that really stuck with you for a long time after you read it, particularly for being a well-written narrative as opposed to something shocking?
I'm looking for examples of really good non-book-length nonfiction storytelling.

this one firmly in "essay" territory rather than journalism:
