PLANT-BASED REALITY?
I was nine years old when I saw Day of the Triffids, a movie about man-eating plants. They crashed through windows and chomped off heads of unsuspecting humans, engulfing the world in an avalanche of terror.
Eighteen years ago, after surgery, my husband was gifted with a houseplant. Pothos—known for its tenacity. It grew from one end of our living room to the other, until an accident broke off its long tendrils.
Still, it thrives.
Maybe it’s my wild imagination, but should I be concerned about those chomping noises I sometimes hear in the middle of the night?
Does anyone remember this?
