What started as an ordinary grocery trip quickly turned into a disturbing ordeal. The narrator bought a pack of regular sausages, ate a few, and stored the rest in the fridge overnight. Nothing seemed unusual—until the next morning, when preparing breakfast, the knife hit something unexpectedly hard inside one of the sausages.
Assuming it might be frozen, they tried slicing again, only to encounter the same resistance. On closer inspection, a metallic glint emerged from the meat. Carefully cutting it open, the narrator discovered a USB flash drive embedded inside. Shock and disgust set in, especially realizing they had already eaten some from the same package. The thought of a foreign object sealed inside store-bought food was both unsettling and inexplicable.
Driven by fear and curiosity, the narrator examined the flash drive. It contained a single folder labeled “OPEN ME.” Inside was one photograph: a man staring directly at the camera, laughing. The image sent chills down the narrator’s spine.
They speculated about a manufacturing error, a prank, or something far more sinister—but none of the explanations fit. The possibility that someone had deliberately placed the device inside food raised more questions than answers.
The narrator grappled with whether to report the discovery to authorities or simply discard both the sausage and the flash drive. The mixture of disgust, fear, and confusion lingered long after the incident.
What began as a mundane meal became a chilling mystery, one that forever altered how the narrator viewed the simple, familiar act of buying and eating store-bought food.
