I found strange white balls in my 15-year-old son's backpack: he says they are just candies, but I don't believe him 😯😢
When I was sorting through my fifteen-year-old son's school backpack in the evening, I didn't expect anything unusual. I just wanted to throw out the trash and organize his things properly because he always threw his backpack in the corner and said he would sort it out later. But that time, under the books, my hand stumbled upon a dense crumpled bundle of white paper.
At first, I really thought it was just ordinary trash. The paper was crumpled as if it had been quickly hidden so it wouldn't be noticeable. I was about to throw it into the bin, but then I felt that there was something inside. I carefully unfolded the paper and froze.
Inside were white balls, more precisely oval lumps of uniform shape, smooth, strange, as if artificial. They were not exactly identical but very similar to each other. White, matte, with some unpleasant, damp smell that immediately put me off. They were definitely not dragees, pills, or regular candies.
At that moment, my son came into the room. I showed him the find and asked what it was. He flinched at first, then quickly looked away and said too calmly that it was just candies given to him by the boys from the neighboring class.
By his voice, I immediately knew he was lying. He said it too carelessly, as if he had prepared an answer in advance, hoping I wouldn't investigate further.
I took one of these white balls in my fingers and looked at it again. It did not look like a candy at all. No coating, no sugar smell, not even a normal hard shell.
Then I couldn’t resist, took a napkin, and pressed lightly to see what was inside. The shell cracked, and at that very moment I felt a chill.
Inside was completely not what I feared, and it didn't make me feel better, on the contrary, it became even scarier. 😢😲 Read more in Comment or Most relevant -> All comments 👇
