It is true that art mimics life, and life is unpredictable and sometimes even downright ugly. The leaf you describe is an embodiment of what scientists like to call the law of seven.

As horror authors, we write about the good and the bad and everything in between. Our style, our use of language, cadence, and diction, is only as artful as that which we attempt to reflect.
