Caring for Plants by Hye-young Pyun

 Rating:6/10


 This short story starts with an accident scene from the beginning. A nurse in the hospital showed that he was seriously injured but survived, and his wife died. I think the problem started with the fact that it was his wife's mother who took care of him. While hiring caregivers, he lives with a lot of help because there are many things he cannot do alone. Of course, this process was not smooth, but the problem began at some point when his mother dug pits in the yard, hired a theraphist, but she didn't call it a starting point, and when he could return to his job as he worked as a teacher in the past, she said he wouldn't. In fact, I had a creepy feeling from this part. However, digging a hole to plant plants made him think that she was trying to kill and bury him by digging a suspiciously large hole in a corner where he could not see well, and covering it with a tarpaulin on the day she called someone. As mentioned above, I thought the fact that she had a grudge against him for her act of disconnecting from society and the death of her wife supported this idea.
 Up to this point, I thought the above was correct, but one thing I missed was that the person who said this was an unrealizable person who had a big accident. In fact, this may be just a person's delusion. However, considering that his wifes mother cut off his social relationship and blocked his future him, it would be difficult to regard him as just a delusion.
