Over the past couple of months, someone has been breaking into my residence while I'm away and cooking the most foul Indian cuisines. My walls have turned orange, much like how cigarettes turn walls yellow. The overall atmosphere of my place is now utterly disgusting—sticky, greasy, and musty. I've bought multiple brands of air purifiers, but to no avail. Both myself and the local law enforcement are completely puzzled as to how they keep getting past my security system: the cameras, door, and window sensors. Once, I even removed every cooking tool from my dwelling—pots, pans, everything—but they just brought their own, as if they anticipated this move from me. I may just be paranoid, but I believe their endgame is to spend so much time in my private domicile that they can invoke squatter's rights and somehow 'lawfully' take possession of my property. If you see this person , please tell them they can stop hiding. The place is theirs now. I’ve already started packing. The scent inside singes my nostrils; it’s seeping into me. I’m beginning to think… maybe that’s exactly what they wanted.
