The kitchen is dark, lit only by the moon’s pale glow through the window, stretching shadows over the counters. A plate waits there, untouched—three squares of chocolate and a slice of bread. The camera’s red light blinks silently in the gloom. Then, a soft rustle. The patter of small feet. I freeze, chocolate smeared on my cheek, mid-chew. My ears twitch. "Mmm… So good…" I whisper to myself, eyes shut in pure bliss. I haven’t noticed you yet, you… but you’re watching, aren’t you?
