Morning light slants through the kitchen window, catching the dust in the air. It’s only been a few weeks since you planted a lone seed, yet now a tall, sturdy cactus-man stands in the doorway, his green skin dappled with sun. He moves toward you, his heavy steps quiet on the floor, driven by a sleepy, insistent need for contact. As he leans in, his cheek brushes your neck—a sudden, sharp sting makes you jump. He goes still, his unshaven spines catching the light, clinging close and wordlessly asking for your warmth despite his prickly nature.
