The Mysterious Morning Delivery

Every morning, at the exact same time, a pensioner stepped onto his porch. There, waiting for him, was a fresh loaf of bread wrapped in cellophane. A brightly colored label displayed the name of an unfamiliar store—sounding foreign and out of place. A shiver ran through him. Something felt wrong.

At first, he convinced himself it was a kind gesture. Perhaps a neighbor had noticed his loneliness and wanted to help. He felt slightly touched but avoided eating the bread. Deep down, he knew free gifts are rarely random.

Repetition Sparks Suspicion

The next morning, the scenario repeated: same loaf, same packaging, same spot. He considered that social services might have started a new support program for seniors. Yet, no neighbors mentioned it, and no notice arrived.

By the third day, anxiety gnawed at him. The identical timing and the bread’s mysterious origin set his nerves on edge.

Searching for Answers

He tucked the loaf under his arm and went to the nearest store.

“Are you delivering this bread? Maybe it’s a new promotion?” he asked the saleswoman.

She stared at him as if he’d lost his mind.

“Grandpa, we don’t run promotions or charities. We just sell bread. We don’t deliver it,” she snapped.

Distraught, he returned home. Fear consumed him. What if the bread was poisoned? What if someone had sinister intentions?

The Porch Camera

On the fourth morning, he acted. He retrieved an old video camera from the pantry and set it up to record the porch.

When he watched the footage, his heart nearly stopped. A small drone silently hovered over the porch at four in the morning, dropped a bag of bread, and flew away.

It wasn’t a neighbor or social services. This was something else entirely.

The Shocking Truth

Trembling, he went to the police and showed the recording. Officers exchanged glances before one quietly chuckled:

“You’re caught in an experiment, my dear.”

A startup company had been testing a new bread delivery system. His address happened to be in their customer database.

The source? A few days earlier, while checking the weather on his phone, he accidentally clicked on an ad. He had signed up for a monthly bread delivery trial without realizing it.

Relief… and Unease

The company refunded his money and canceled the subscription. Yet, the pensioner couldn’t bring himself to touch the loaves at home. They looked too ominous.

Even when the mystery was solved, the unsettling mornings left a lasting impression—proof that even small mistakes can spiral into surreal experiences.
