9/1 Today I bought a cactus pear at Wegmans. This cactus pear stood out to me at the store, and I just had to grab it. When I took it out of the bag it pricked me, so I put it down. I was sitting trying to get the prick out while it just sat there mocking me. It looks cool and bright colors; I’m wondering what the inside of the insulting cactus pear will look like. It is staying in the bag from now on because I can feel it taunting me and it doesn’t feel remorseful. I have not tied to settle this argument with it because I don’t think I deserved to be pricked. Maybe it thought I was going to eat it. If that’s the case, then I forgive it.

9/3 The cactus pear looks the same as yesterday, it has wrinkles on the top. On the other hand, it is getting duller in color, today it is pink/purple/red. On the bottom of the cactus pear, it looks like a root. The top of it looks like it is about to pop a head and start talking to me. Where it looks like the head is going it also looks like there are some spikes growing. I hope we haven’t’ taken a step backwards and it is putting up walls again. The rest of the cactus pear is still soft all around, but the top is growing three little prickly heads.
