You had me at the title. *Shudders.*

Quite the intriguing premise, all the little details like expiration dates make it feel like you thought it through and is making me take the story a lot more seriously.

There are a lot of instances of "he did this and he did this" which slows things. A lot of this is necessary, so you can point out the things like expiration dates and the idiosyncratic television show... Others less so like him making his coffee and then drinking it. In these parts I wanted to skim, though I resisted as I didn't want to miss the clues you were leaving.

I am looking forward to chapter 2!

I don't know why, but the lady paying for all the food she was eating stuck out at me as the kind of thing that improves the whole. I forgot to mention it.
