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.
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.
What Was on the Flash Drive
I plugged the flash drive into my computer, half expecting nothing to happen — maybe it was broken, maybe it was empty. But the moment the screen lit up, my heart began to race.
There was just one folder, labeled “OPEN ME.”
