Karl, that is badly dehydrated. See how the pith at the bottom is sunken in?
The little branch is doing its best to survive but to be truthful I don't give this a lot of hope.
Here is what I would do.
Cut off the leaves first (they are taking the moisture from the stick in order to survive). Then make a water bath with a few drops of superthrive if you have it and lay the cutting in there for 24 hrs. This often will re-hydrate it a bit. Then lay it in a shaded spot for a week to let it callous. Once you have a decent callous, put it in a plastic pot with pure perlite on a warm surface, and see if it will still root. These plants do surprise us! Mist with water regularly if it's very dry. If your nights are below 50 degrees, don't leave it outside.
This is what a good callous looks like
Good luck!
