Creepy, and well done in the angst the character feels over the situation yet has still gone to the premeditated length of having a snack ready in the closet. Not sure if you were going for this on purpose, but a lot of the sentence are run-ons and would benefit from from some punctuation to break things up. Especially the second bit. Basically, it’s a neat idea and emotions, but the writing is rather rough, different tenses and all.
Thanks for the comments, but help me out. I don’t see any inconsistencies in tense (please help if you do), it looks like it’s all in the now. For the run-ons, it’s a first-person narrative which I’ve attempted to stylize a bit to increase the tension. The wording/punctuation were actually deliberate.
Yep, that actually does help. It’s still a long sentence with a lot in it, but that little bit of punctuation helps me, at least, see where you were going with it. And I think the only problem with tense was actually me misunderstanding that same second paragraph (strewn as adjective versus verb)
