Grayson watched the oak tree at all hours, day and night. Even when sleeping for short intervals, he’d installed a monitoring system to protect against intruders.
He’d become an unexpected celebrity in his town when it was officially determined the last autumn leaf clinging to a branch was in his yard. Local police immediately established a protective perimeter, followed by the FBI and military. Grayson wasn’t fully convinced of their trustworthiness however, hence his own added security .
After all, if there were no more leaves, than climate change was real, and he hated for his wife to be proven right.
