shrivelled

the leaves shrivelled in the heat of the sun.

her dreams shrivelled after the harsh reality set in.

as the fruit shrivelled, it lost its sweetness.

the flowers shrivelled without water.

the old photograph had shrivelled over time.

his enthusiasm shrivelled after repeated failures.

the skin of the apple shrivelled as it aged.

her confidence shrivelled under criticism.

the once vibrant garden had shrivelled into a barren land.

the laughter in the room shrivelled into silence.
