He had to cut off the last two leaves of the plant. It was just a matter of time. Although he hoped he may be wrong, he hoped that by some miracle the life in it would fight its way further.

Still, the leaves kept some moisture and they resisted crumpling before he threw them to garbage. (from the novel in preparation, 2009)
