This post reminds me of my grandfather's garden. He has tons of red palm tree seeds and all us grandchildren play with the seeds, but then my sister burst it open and made her very itchy to touch it. So my grandmother asked to chop down the palm tree.
I like the symbolism of the cactus.
Thanks, Marina! The cactus itself was the prompt I started with and the story evolved from there!

Oh goodness! I didn’t know red palm did that!
Yes, I am not sure if palm tree seeds in other countries do that though!
Kim- I like the way you put ‘It all began to crumble.” Hope you’re well this week? Cheers, -Thalia
