At first, I tried to come up with a rational explanation. Maybe it was part of a bizarre marketing stunt gone wrong, or maybe someone at the factory was playing a twisted joke. But then another thought crossed my mind — what if it wasn’t a joke?
What if that flash drive was never meant to be found?
I checked the sausage packaging again — the seal, the labels, the expiration date — all normal. Nothing to suggest tampering. It looked like any other product sitting on the shelf.
That realization made everything even more unsettling.
Who would go through the effort of hiding a flash drive inside food? And why that image — a man laughing into the camera?
I couldn’t shake the feeling that it was directed at me somehow, though I knew that made no sense.
