I had to take an American short stories class in college, and I don't know if it was the Professor, but some of those short story authors have extremely strange ideas. The trees have buds which is very exciting. They also have leaves left over from fall which is kind of sad. All of which brings me back to O. Henry. (See? I had a point with my short story intro!) He wrote a story called The Last Leaf. It's an odd, slightly morbid story. But by FAR the weirdest story we read was about a depressed woman who finally becomes convinced that she is part of the wallpaper in her room. Creepy and weird.
