A tragic story set in colonial Massachusetts.

**letters are in progress** Ludlow has led an unusual life. It has been in a strange place, far away from his home. He serves masters in a new world where the closest thing to God is below his feet, underneath the Ground's crust. He is something like a custodian to intimate creatures, Truyians. The Truyians are extensions, appendages of the Museum, the God under the Ground. They are also known as Enduring, conditionally immortal. He is, instead, an Ephemeral, destined to pass through life as he has known it. In his time with the Enduring Truyians, he has accrued his own secrets. His responsibilities have included matters of extreme depth. He has come into an unprecedented understanding of the universe. He has experienced madness and revelation. He has threatened life and had his own life threatened. He has seen the passions and limitations of gods. Now, he writes to reach out, to preserve himself but also to inform a successor. He does not feel a closeness of death, and secrets within him may preserve him beyond his natural timeline, but it is the wish of one of his masters that an Ephemeral come to take his place, should time remove him. He shares this wish. These are his letters.

"Desires: Some Need to Get Eaten" delves into the complex and often paradoxical nature of human desires. This write-up explores the inner conflict between indulging in our deepest cravings and exercising self-restraint. By examining the symbolic act of consuming one's own heart, the piece highlights how succumbing to negative desires like anger, envy, greed, and lust can offer fleeting satisfaction but ultimately lead to greater despair. Conversely, it addresses the painful yet necessary process of self-control, which, while demanding significant suffering, promises long-term peace and personal growth. Through vivid imagery and philosophical insights, the write-up underscores the importance of finding a balance between indulgence and restraint, suggesting that true wisdom and inner peace emerge from this delicate equilibrium.
