Something Odd
He soon became aware of a strange phenomenon: the meal was going away, but not in the expected manner. Every time Thad went to the refrigerator, he would discover a container that he was certain had been full the previous evening, but for some reason, it was empty. Annie would shrug when he questioned her about it, claiming that she must have thrown it out because she didn’t like it.
Suspicion
Thad’s interest soon became mistrust. He couldn’t get rid of the uneasy sense that Annie wasn’t telling him the whole truth. What, though, might she be concealing? And why? Thad couldn’t let it go; he had already done something he never would have imagined. He could tell how suspicious he was only by looking at the tiny camera in the kitchen, which was tucked away in a corner and could record everything that happened around the dining table and the refrigerator.
