You are not a merchant. Not a prince. Not even someone with the good fortune of shade. You’re a nameless porter in a caravan crossing the Sahara Desert — hauling salt you can’t eat, gold you’ll never touch, and water you’re not allowed to drink. You’ll face sandstorms, thirst, camels with a grudge, and a landscape that forgets your name before your bones are dry.

This isn’t a tale of glory. It’s a slow, grinding journey through heat, silence, and complete anonymity — told in the second person, with dry humor and historical accuracy, designed to lull you into sleep or existential horror. Whichever comes first.

Enjoy this immersive, darkly meditative journey into one of history’s most brutal trade routes. And remember: the desert doesn’t hate you. It just doesn’t care.
