Summary "The Indulgence of Negu Mah" by Robert Arthur is a science fiction short story written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds in a futuristic setting where characters from different planets interact against a backdrop of love, betrayal, and complex moral dilemmas. The story primarily explores themes of desire, commitment, and the consequences of choices made in the pursuit of freedom. In the tale, Negu Mah, a wealthy uranium merchant from Callisto, struggles with his wife Nanlo's growing dissatisfaction with their marriage. Despite providing her with comfort and luxury, her heart yearns for another man, Hugh Neils, who equally desires her. The two plan to escape by stealing Negu Mah's cargo rocket, the Vulcan. However, unaware of his wife's betrayal, Negu Mah chooses to let them go while also ensuring they will face the consequences of their actions. He secretly alters the ship’s controls, ensuring that they are set on a course toward Proxima Centauri, sealing their fate as they embark on a potentially endless journey through space. The story ultimately poses questions about the nature of love and the balance between indulgence and personal responsibility. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
