The Atlas of Lust

There are the beasts of lust, but they are truly just a few beasts of burden. Atlas, who in the Greek mythology was condemned to forever carry the celestial skies on his shoulders, had a less known sibling carrying the same name. Through the deserts in the hearts condemned to longing, he was assigned the task of carrying the longing of humans without rest until eternal lust comes to an end.
