An Ordinary Morning Turned Strange
Yesterday seemed like any other day. I stopped by the grocery store after work and picked up a pack of regular sausages — nothing special, just something easy to fry for sandwiches. The packaging looked normal, sealed tight, with no sign of anything unusual.
That evening, I cooked a few slices, ate dinner, and put the rest in the fridge. Everything tasted perfectly fine. I didn’t think twice about it.
But the next morning, when I went to make breakfast, something felt off.
As soon as my knife touched the sausage, it hit something hard — as though a piece of metal had been cooked inside. I frowned, thinking maybe the meat had frozen overnight. But when I tried slicing through another section, the same thing happened.
So I looked closer. And what I saw made my stomach twist.
The Discovery
Buried in the middle of the sausage was something shiny — a small, rectangular object wedged deep inside the meat. I carefully pried it out with the tip of my knife and froze.
It wasn’t a piece of metal or a bit of machinery.
It was a USB flash drive.
For a few seconds, I just stared at it in disbelief. The thought hit me — I had already eaten several slices from that same package the night before. How could something like this have possibly ended up inside a factory-sealed sausage?
The flash drive was sticky, covered in bits of meat. The sight alone made me nauseous. I wiped it off, unsure what to do next.
Part of me wanted to throw it away immediately and pretend none of it had happened. But curiosity got the better of me. I needed to know what was on it.
