I found a USB key in an ordinary sausage: at first, I thought it had accidentally ended up in the food, until I checked its contents.

At first, I thought it was a piece of metal or plastic. But as I carefully removed it, I felt nauseous: it was a USB drive, a simple drive, covered in pieces of sausage. Just thinking about it made me sick. I’d already eaten from that packaging! How on earth could a USB drive have ended up inside a sealed sausage?
Disgust gave way to curiosity.
I plugged the USB drive into my computer, not really knowing what to expect, and what I saw gave me goosebumps. There was only one folder, titled “OPEN ME.” Inside, a single image: a photo of a man staring at the camera and laughing.

I dropped the mouse and sat there, staring at the screen, a shiver running down my spine. It might have been a bad joke, but who would go so far as to hide a USB key in food?

Now I’m torn between calling the police to investigate or simply dropping the matter and trying to forget about it. In any case, one thing is certain: I’ll never look at store-bought sausages the same way again.
