27

It’s dying. I’ve done all I can. I water it. I put it near the window in the office meeting room where it’ll get sufficient sunlight. I assigned my trainee to water it when I was away in Sg (else I’ll fail her, I told her straight). I gave it fertiliser.

 

I even crunched the fertiliser into smart parts (with a stick) so it will be absorbed easily by the root. My trainee did the same (with her hand). But it’s not strong enough. It’s dying. Its been with me for a year. It’s peers are still healthy and green.

 

But this un-named-cactus wont be able to make it long. My manager said it’s lacked of love. So I kissed at its tip. Nothing happens. It has enough love. Maybe the time has come. Another two weeks I guess and it’ll die completely.

 

I’ve moved it to my desk now, so it will be with me for its last moments. Goodbye my un-named-cactus, and may you join all my died-un-named-cactuses in cactus-heaven.
