Very well then...... Is Blue going to run into Ed Rawlins, somewhere between the Black Mule Ranch and Odessa?

Re: Tumbleweeds discussion
I’ll echo DocV’s criticism. I would really like to know “her” name, but I also let it go because I thought perhaps this was some kind of literary device you were deliberately using. But since every character seems not to be the narrator, it doesn’t seem like it would hurt to know her name...
.......UNLESS........
.....this is being written kind of like the gospel of John, in which the author never refers to himself other than “the one whom Jesus loved”, even though John was one of the central characters of the gospels. In that case, it would make some literary sense, since this story is also a testimony to the goodness of God, His provision, and His saving grace. So maybe “she” is “the one whom Jesus loved” for the purposes of this story? Let me know if I’m onto something.
I have VERY much enjoyed reading Tumbleweeds, and as you know from our PM exchanges, I’ve been suitably frustrated by the hanging suspense a couple of times when you “set down your pen” to rest.
One question: did you have this already written, or have you just written it as you went along?
One request: please don’t stop.
