I love that photo of a cholla cactus. They are one of my favorite cacti. I used that very same photo once in a love story about cholla cactus. I'm a cactus freak and I'm not afraid to admit it. If you stop sharing this story before it is finished I may lose my mind. You wouldn't do that to a reader, would you? Every day I get up in eager anticipation of the next installment. I have no earthly idea what I will do when the story finally ends. I may have to walk out into the desert never to be heard from again.
