| 520 | _a"One Purple Hope!" by Henry Hasse is a science fiction novella written during the early 1950s. The narrative follows the tragic plight of Joel Latham, an Earthman turned tsith addict, as he navigates the underbelly of Venusport, a place rife with despair and addiction. The central theme revolves around Latham's desperate quest for redemption and escape from his life of addiction and hopelessness. In the story, Joel Latham wakes up in a swamp, struggling with the effects of his addiction to a substance called tsith. As he recalls his past, Latham recognizes his deteriorating condition and desperate situation, having lost everything to his addiction, including the trust of his peers and his possessions. After a brief encounter with Kueelo, a Martian companion, Latham learns that he has been cheated, losing a precious gem—the purple Josmian—which he believes could offer him a way out of his desperate circumstances. In a fevered attempt to reclaim the gem from Kueelo and another companion, Kraaz, Latham embarks on a treacherous journey through the jungle, battling both the dangers of the wilderness and his addiction. However, upon finally reaching Penger, the man who controls the supply of tsith, he faces an even greater challenge regarding the price of his escape, ultimately leading to a crushing realization about his choices and fate.
