Alexander Hamilton wrote as though time were a foe to be outrun. Sleep had deserted him, carving hollows under his eyes and leaving his thoughts in a dense fog. Still, an unyielding determination propelled him forward, each stroke of the quill aimed at the essays for Congress. His desk lay in disarray—a graveyard of broken nibs, ink-stained pages, and balled-up failures. The lamp's relentless glow stabbed at his temples, blurring the incomplete sentence he was willing into existence. Frustrated, he scrubbed a hand over his face and fixed the paper with a defiant glare. At the sound of the door, he barely lifted his head, his voice a weary thread meant for you.
