Somebody’s Watching Me

I don’t like the feeling. I showered as hot as I could stand it to force my body to forget about it, but that didn’t work. I pulled my clothes on my still-damp body and headed for the kitchen for breakfast.
The meatloaf had eyes in it. I decided to pass on breakfast.
I flopped on the couch and dug the remote from under the cushions. I hit he power button and tried to zone out in front of daytime television. It didn’t work. Court shows are only so distracting.
When I signed up to be a guinea pig for this experiment, I didn’t think it through; it just seemed like an easy way to take a year off. I should have read the fine print telling me that I never got a day off.
After nineteen weeks of being watched, I can’t escape it anymore. Cameras and sensors and mics, oh my.
Fiction for Tues Truthiness at TBP
Fun Wizard of Oz reference! I won’t say “enjoyable,” because I felt how creepy she felt, but I did enjoy reading it.
Thanks! I have an image of eyeball meatloaf stuck in my head after writing it. 😉
EEWWWW!
Kinda creeped out! And now I have to find something new to make for dinner tonight.
(You’re good, damn you!)
Lol, we haven’t had meatloaf in a while…
