“Get the black suits out for the funeral.”
“Are you crazy, Tom? He is your father, and we are just shifting him to hospital.”
“This plant had grown 55 inches in a day, when Mom passed away. It is again growing at a high speed. These tendrils are the tentacles of death.”
“Letz throw it away….”
“No.” His voice was stern. “I need to know when …. It is my connection with the metaphysical world. My masters tell me…”
“Am I next on the line, Tom? “
Anaita was turning blue with fear and cold.
“Maybe it’s you, not him.”

This person’s ability to decipher plant growth patterns to forecast imminent death is disturbing and the comment about the “masters” has me concerned for everyone’s welfare.

This plant can sense if someone is dying. But it can’t say who?

The plant gives a sense of foreboding, not growth or pleasantness.
