  Speaker 1: I like going for a run after dinner every night.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: When I was in college, I was popular as the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: bravest boy in our gang. I've always been the risk
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: taker Adventuros type. I live in a small town, and
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: after my parents' death, I inherited their house. I created
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: an office space for myself. I'm a professional gamer and
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I write for a few tech websites. I was completely
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: satisfied with my life until this happened. It was a
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: warm Monday night, after dwelling with huge work pressure, I
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: was dying to go out for a jog. As soon
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: as I finished my dinner, I changed into my running
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: clothes and started on the road. The area where I
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: live is close to an abandoned factory, signed with dusty
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: roads leading to the woods. After running for five to
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: seven minutes, I reached in front of the abandoned factory
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: and stopped. I remembered my father telling me creepy stories
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: about this factory. Many people in our town used to
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: say this factory had a hidden space to run weird experiments,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: but one day a fire broke out and the entire
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: place burnt down. Since then, this plot has been an
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: abandoned location. I watched the black broken structure attentatively. It
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: still risks me to think some crazy people ran experiments here.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: I shrugged it off eventually and started to run again.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I decided to make a round through the area surrounding
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: this factory. This way I will cover up a pretty
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: big lap, and also going in a circle will help
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: me find my way back home. I looked at my
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: watch and saw it was ten thirty at night. The
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: factory stood right in the middle of the ground. When
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I came closer to the entrance gate of the factory,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I heard a noise. At first, I failed to spot
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: it out, but the more I got to the entrance,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the louder the sound got. It was the scream of
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: a woman. My heart stopped right at that second. Did
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I hear that correctly? But before I could contemplate on
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: that thought, the scream took place again. I turned to
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the factory immediately. The broken windows and shattered glass signified
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: it had been abandoned for a long time. After a
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: lot of hesitation, I started to walk towards the entrance.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: The weed covered ground made it difficult to walk. The
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: sound of wind and crickets chirping near by gave me
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: serious horror movie vibes. As I stood in front of
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the main door of the factory, something at the back
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: of my mind kept telling me that I shouldn't be here.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I pushed the half broken door and tiptoed inside the building.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: A large, empty hall stood in front of me. The
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: floor was covered with dust and all kinds of dirt.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: At the end of the hall, I saw an iron
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: stairway leading to the top floor, but the entire place
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: seemed out of use. I was wondering if I should
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: be going upstairs or not, just when I saw a
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: thin ray of light coming from the floor under the staircase.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: All this time I didn't notice it. I carefully walked
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: to the area the floor.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I saw a.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Square lid was placed on the floor. I could easily
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: understand that this lid is nothing but a doorway to
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: the basement area. Now I've heard enough weird stories about
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the experiments that used to take place under this factory.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: I even heard about a secret lab residing under this property.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I got down on my hands and knees and lifted
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the lid to peek inside. I wanted to know what
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: was happening down there. What I saw terrified me. For life.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: There were six to seven people dressed weirdly. They were
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: standing surrounding a cage, and inside the cage stood a
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: gigantic evil creature. Its entire body was black, but its
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: eyes were like lightning bolts. The lights I saw earlier
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: were coming from its huge.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Bright eyes.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: The creature kept screaming in a squeaky voice, and the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: men tried to keep them contained in that cage. Suddenly
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: my phone rang and the creature looked right at me.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I felt like I just went blind for a few seconds.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: A man said, don't look at the eyes. You must
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: never look at the eyes of SCP fifteen. I got
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: up and started to run for my life. It took
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: me some time to adjust my vision, but I didn't stop.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: When I reached home, I got inside and closed the
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: door right behind me. Since that night, I started to
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: experience some weird changes in myself. No matter how much
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: I ate or worked out, I kept losing weight rapidly.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: My neighbor, Missus Sherman, got shocked seeing me one day.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, Jeremy, are you suffering from a serious illness? No,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I have no idea, Missus Sherman, I said in a
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: feeble voice. I went to my family doctor and many
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: other doctors as well, but no one was able to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: detect what was happening to me. One night, I was
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: sitting in my kitchen having suddenly I saw a black
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: shadow moving in my backyard. My stomach dropped in fear.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: The door leading to the backyard is right beside my
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: kitchen area. The black shadow rushed towards the door, and
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I saw the door knob twisting on its own. I
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: ran to hold the door to prevent whoever was trying
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: to get inside. I almost slammed on the door, and
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: as I looked to the window, a pair of floodlights
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: flashed behind the glass window. It was the same creature
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I saw that night under the abandoned factory. I was
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: standing face to face with this devil. The only obstacle
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: between us was my wooden door. I knew the door
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: was nothing to this giant.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: How could he have just followed me.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I screamed for help, but there was no one to
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: hear my cry. The dark, evil giant that.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Had banged hard on the door. I got pushed with
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: a huge horse and fell on the floor. The door
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: broke down in front of my eyes. S fifteen stood
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: right in front of me. It opened its huge mouth.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I saw sharp yellow teeth flashing inside its huge jaw.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I screamed because I knew this is probably the last
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: scream of my life, and then fainted on the ground.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I woke up in a hospital bed two days after
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the incident. I was shocked to find myself alive. I
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: asked the doctor if anyone found the creature that attacked me.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: She looked at me with mysterious eyes. What do you
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: think happened to you, mister Smith? Convincingly, I said, I
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: was attacked. That devil attacked me. Didn't any of you
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: see him? He has huge, bright eyes, got his eyes?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: The doctor said, calm down, Jeremy. You were found unconscious
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: in your house. There were signs of a break in
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: at your back door. Your neighbor came to see you
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and thought you had been robbed and beaten. That's why
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: they brought you here. Don't you remember any of that?
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: My eyes stunned in fear. I looked at the window
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: and said, that means that means he's still out there.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: It's that time again. Morris looked at me with terrified
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: eyes and spoke Everyone in the room got silent. Immediately,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the crackling sound of the wood burning in the fireplace
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: created a spooky ambiance. John got up and went towards
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the bar. Rosie and I exchanged looks. Sitting on the
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: living room couch, my husband, Morris and I have invited
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: our friends for dinner. John and Rosie had been our
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: family friends for the last ten years. I looked at
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Morris and said, don't you think you're overreacting. Morris opened
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: the window in the living room. A gust of cold
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: wind rushed inside the room. The winter nights in Oxfordshire
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: are very cruel. Morris looked outside and stared at the
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: dark valley for some time, then said, in a low voice,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: we are the people of Tomby, Oxfordshire, are struck with
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: an ancient curse. None of us can deny that. Rosie said,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: but I agree with June. It's been a long time now.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: We should forget what happened twelve years back. I threw
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: some wood in the fireplace and said, Morris, closed the window.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: It's really cold, you know. Morris shut the window and
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: sat on the bar. John poured him a glass of
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: wine and said, um, do you know how it all started.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Rosy said in a sarcastic voice, Well, it would be
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: fun to hear a spooky story on a chilly winter night.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: I think I laughed and said, yeah, a little story
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: time won't hurt I guess. Morris took a sip from
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: his glass and looked at the burning fireplace. He kept
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: staring at the fire for a while and said, it's
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: scarier than any spooky story because it is not a story.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: It is a.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: True and terrifying incident that happened in this town twelve
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: years earlier. I'm sure all of you are familiar with
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the poem Crooked Man. There's a saying in our town
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: that if you recite this poem out loud, you will
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: be subjected to the curse of the crooked Man. The
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: origin of this poem started from a small house on
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the outskirts of our town. There lived a man, but
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: no one recalls his name. Every one addressed him as
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: the crooked Man. He had a broken back with twisted
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: broken legs. Out of sorrow and torture of the village people,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: he committed suicide. One day. When the village people broke
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: into the house, they saw his body dangling from a
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: rope tied to his neck. His eyes were wide open,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: as if he was staring at all of them, not
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: just that. Some said that there was a wicked smile
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: on his deadly pale face. His haunting spirit started to
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: attack those who were living alone on a winter night.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: He used to enter their houses, breaking them into pieces,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: yet letting them live like a cripple. He's invincible. No
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: one who saw him when naked eyes could ever speak
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: a word. Many people died that year, and then suddenly
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: he stopped, only to return after every twelve years since then,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: he rises from his death and haunts this town. Today
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: is a day where he is supposed to seek revenge
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: on this town. There's only two ways to know that
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: he was there. In a muffled voice, Rose said, what
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: are those two ways? Morris looked at us and said,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: whichever house he targets starts to get cracks on the
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: walls and roof and from the body of his victimsurious voice,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: John said, actually, my father also told me that this
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: incident did happen.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: A crooked man.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Haunts our village. I couldn't hold onto my laughter anymore.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I almost cried while laughing loudly. Oh, God, what's wrong
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: with the brave men of our town. You can't be serious.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Come on, Rose said, whatever it is, this story is
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: really freaking me out. I wish I hadn't asked you
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to tell it in the first place. Morris said, June,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: my dear, there were people who thought like you until
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: they became his victim, or someone they know became one.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: We have to be prepared. There's no way one can
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: defeat him. My grandfather told me, if I hear him
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: knock on the door, never answer it. I lost my
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: calm this time. I got up and said, fine, I
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: will recite the poem out loud right now, and I
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: will show you that this is all a man eat
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: up story and nothing else. Everyone got up in shock.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Morris said, no, June, you shouldn't say his name out loud.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: It's a curse. I started to recite the poem out loud.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: There was a.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile. He found
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: a crooked sixpence and a crooked style. He bought a
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse, and they all
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: lived together in a crooked little house. Did anything happen?
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I said, after finishing the poem. Morris was looking at
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the door frightened. Rose was almost about to cry. John
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: was trying to listen carefully if anyone was walking to
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: the door, but nothing happened. I sat down and said, see,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: I told you just a spooky story. Now come on,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: let's have dinner. At dinner, everyone started to ease up
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: about this story, but my husband didn't say a single
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: word to me. It made me worry that I might
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: have gone too far with my joke today, but I
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: wanted to prove to Morris that he was fearing for
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: no reason. John and Rose left for their house. After dinner,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I had another glass of wine. Morris read a book
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: for a while, sitting near the fireplace. To break the
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: awkward silence between us, I said, you know, I was
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: just joking. Don't be mad at me. Morris looked at
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: me with cold eyes and said I'd better get some sleep.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Good night.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I decided to sleep on the matter too. After one hour,
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: I got up and walked to the kitchen. I was
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: cleaning the remaining dishes when my eyes went to the
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: ceiling above my head. I saw that a small crack
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: had appeared on it. For a second, my stomach dropped
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: in fear. Has it started already? Did I really summon
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the crooked man? But then I got back to my
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: senses and realized the house we live in is quite old.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Hence it is natural to see such cracks and damages
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: in the old walls. The clock in the hallway struck two.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I was about to head upstairs just when I heard
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: a soft knock on the main door. Now my eyes
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: were dizzy. I realized that I was drunk, so with
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: stumbling footsteps, I went towards the main door. I stood
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: in front of the door and said, who's there. A
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: whispering sound came from the other side of the door.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: I asked again, anybody there. No reply came. I turned
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: around and started to walk. As soon as I took
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: the first step, someone banged loudly on the door, almost
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: scaring me to the core. I turned around and screamed,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: whoever you are, I am not going to open the door.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: I then ran to my bedroom in fear. The bedroom
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: door was closed from the inside, but I could hear
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: a muffled, sobbing voice, as if someone was gagging in pain.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: I tried I had to open the lock, but it
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: was locked from the inside. I banged on the door, Borris,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: why did you lock the door? The crying sound grew
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: louder this time. I pushed the door hard and attempted
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: to break it. The door opened and making a loud thud.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: What I saw next shook me from the inside. There
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: was a bony, tall, vicious looking man standing in the
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: middle of the room. He was grabbing my husband by
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: his neck and twisting his arms like a puppet. I
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: could tell that my husband was numb with pain. He
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: was becoming unconscious with every snap of the bone. I
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: screamed at the top of my lungs, just when the
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: creature looked at me. Yes, I saw his face. I
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: saw the Crooked Man. I couldn't save my husband that night,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: when the neighbors came, they found me unconscious on the floor.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Our room was ravaged. It's been a year now since
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: my husband passed away. He remained in a coma for
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: a month and then died in his sleep. I came
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: to know about the secret organization SCP or taking charge
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: of capturing this evil creature. I heard they have named
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the Crooked Man SCP seven eighty three. They claimed that
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: no one who saw him was left to describe how
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: he looked, but I want to tell him that I
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: saw him that night. If you can, please contact me.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: It's now the mission of my life to catch the
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: killer of my husband and finish him once and for all.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: I'm a scientist. The idea of how life took place
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: on our planet has always thrilled me. I was studying
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: microbiology at a university in California. In my final years,
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I applied to work as a research in turn in
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: an experimental facility. The institute kept a low profile, but
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: as I started working there, I realized that there was
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: something they were trying to hide from us. My friend
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Emily and I were both working as interns. We helped
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: researchers in the lab and got a good stipend in return.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: The learning opportunities were nice too. One day, Emily and
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I were having lunch in the cafeteria. Trust me, Christy,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: this place is boring. We should have taken the internship
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: offered by our senior. I mean he was good looking, too,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: she said, while laughing. I replied, come on, stop fooling
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: around so much. I like it here. Emily rolled her
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: eyes and said, that's because you're boring too. We've been
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: friends since the first day of college, so I never
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: cared when she made fun of me, because these things
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: happened between friends. We were chatting and munching on our
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: food when suddenly we overheard a conversation. Okay, we prepared
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: the room for the specimen. You can tell them to
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: bring it here tonight after everyone leaves. I followed the
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: voice and saw two men standing near the table close
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: to us, talking with serious face. As I noticed the
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: guy who just spoke, our eyes met accidentally. He looked
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: up at me and smiled. Ooh, I think someone likes you,
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Emily said in a funny voice. Shut up, eat your food,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I replied awkwardly. I looked away immediately and started eating quietly.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Within ten to fifteen seconds, the guy came to me
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: and said, Hi, I'm Damian. I'm a junior researcher here.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Emily said, hey, we're working his interns. Nice to meet you.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I'm Emily. The guy smiled at her and then said
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: to me, and what's your name. I awkwardly looked at
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: him and said, I'm Christy. Damien smiled and said, well, Christy,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: it's nice to meet you. I'll see you around.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: My god, he is so crushing on you, Emily said.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I couldn't help but smile. This time. Damien was quite handsome,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: and since then we started to get close and he
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: asked for my number. We went on a couple of
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: dates and things were fun whenever we were together. Apart
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: from that, he helped me with my work. I soon
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: realized that he was very passionate about his work as well.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: His sense of knowledge and wit overwhelmed me many times.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: One afternoon, I was heading to Lab two three when
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I saw Damien standing in the corridor talking to a
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: security guard. As I got closer, I heard him saying,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: always check the lock on the door. We all need
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: to be highly cautious about SCP zero nine six. Specimens
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: and any research labs are often titled with certain code names,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: so at first it didn't surprise me, but on our
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: way home, out of curiosity, I asked him what is
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: SCP zero nine six. Now? Damien has always been a
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: careful driver, but that moment he pressed the brake accidentally,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: the car jerked and we stopped in the middle of
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: the road. People started plunking boards behind us. We could
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: have been hit by some running car too, but Luckily
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: nothing dangerous happened. What in the hell was that? I
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: screamed in fear, Damien said in a hesitated voice. I'm sorry, Christy,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I just got distracted. On the entire way, we didn't
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: say a single thing to each other. I stayed back
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: at his place at night. It surprised me that Damien
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: didn't even mention SCP zero nine six, irrespective of me
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: asking about it. Something kept telling me that he was
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: hiding information about this specimen. The next morning, we went
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: to work and I asked him again, you didn't tell
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: me what this SCP zero nine six. Damien smiled as
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: if he completely forgot this entire event, but I could
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: tell that he was being fake. He then said, you know,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: we sometimes bring various subjects for our research works. This
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: is one of a kind. It's like a micro organism. Really,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: can you include me in this research process? It'll add
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: some extra credits for my specialization paper, I said. Damien's
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: face turned pale, and he said in a fumbled voice, Uh, okay,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I have to ask my seniors, though. Let's see if
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: I can do something about it. So far, whenever I
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: showed interest in a certain project, Damien always included me
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: in that or at least let me visit the lab
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: room of research so that I can learn from myself.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: But his mixed reaction disappointed me. This time that day,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Damien avoided me and didn't even come for lunch. Emily said,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: seems like you guys are having your first couple fights. Huh.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: I exhaled in disappointment and said, I don't know. Since
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: I asked him about the specimen, his behavior changed. Surprisingly
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: what specimen, Emily asked, I'm not sure. I overheard him
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: warning a security guard about some SCP ninety six. I replied, huh.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I also heard people talking that there was something secret
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: kept inside a lab in the basement. Emily said, they
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: have a lab in the basement. I asked, yeah, and
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: some interns told me it's the most mysterious part of
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: this facility. Except for some special researchers. No one's allowed
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: to go in there. Emily replied. I started to think.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: If sc P ninety six was just a microorganism, then
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: why is there so much hush hush about it. Suddenly
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: an idea came to my mind. Emily and I decided
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: to check the three stored research institute just to find
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: if there's a lab kept separately for this mysterious specimen.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: But obviously we didn't find any such room. I got
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: sure that whatever this is, it's kept in the lab
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: located in the basement. I came home from work and
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: went to take a shower. When I came back, I
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: saw three missed calls on my phone. It was Damien.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: I called him back and he apologized. He then came
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: over to my place and we had dinner and things
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: got back to normal. But I had some other plans
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: made already. Emily and I decided to sneak into the
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: facility at around midnight. I knew Damien carries the keys
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: of the lab and main entrance with him all the time.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: After he fell asleep, I secretly took the keys and
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: informed Emily that I was on my way. All I
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: wanted to know was what the hell SCP ninety six was.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: When we reached the institute, it stood like a haunted place.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: The pale moonlight and crickets chirping near by made it
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: even more spooky. We got inside the gates very carefully.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: We didn't want to attract any kind of unwonted attention.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: After opening the main gate. We walked towards the basement door.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: The door stood locked with chains and a metal lock.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: After two to three attempts of using various keys, we
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: finally managed to unlock it. As soon as we came
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: down the basement stairs, we realized why everyone was so
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: secretive about this part of the research facility. There was
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: a long corridor, and believe me, there was only one
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: room standing at the end of the corridor. The door
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: of the room had a big caution sign and under
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: that a nameplate read SCP ninety six.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: The shy guy.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: It's just some guy, Emily said in a shocking tone.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I was shocked too. Damien told me it was some
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: kind of micro organism, but what the hell is going
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: on here? Suddenly we heard a crying sound coming from
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: that room. We rushed over and Emily said, Hey, are
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: you all right? But no one replied, only a sobbing
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: voice kept whimpering in pain. Out of disgust and annoyance
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: at the cruel work culture of this facility, I started
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: unlocking the door. I twisted the key and a blue
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: button started to blink right above the door. I was
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: about to press it when Emily stopped me for a
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: second and said, Christy, I don't know if this is
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: a good idea. I replied, they're running God knows what
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: kind of insane experiments on a poor human being. So yeah,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: I think it is a good idea to unlock the
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: door and set him free. Without hesitating anymore, I pressed
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: the button and a huge alarm went off. I realized
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: that I needed to take the key out before pressing
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the button. It was a clever move to avoid security breaches. Suddenly,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: a screaming voice appeared behind my back.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: No, Christy, what have you done?
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: I turned around and saw Damien standing in the corridor
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: with a horrified face. The door opened, and before I
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: could understand more, I saw a long hand grasp my
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: friend Emily and flinger into the air. She screamed in
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: fear and fell on the floor, making a loud thud.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Then a creepy looking human figure came out of that room.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: The humanoid creature had very little muscle mass as it
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: was suffering from a cute mountnourishment. Its arms were grossly
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: out of proportion, making it look like nothing less than
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: an alien. I screamed and started to run away. Emily
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: got up and was limping behind me, I saw the
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: creature coming at full speed towards Emily. I ran back
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: to give her a hand, but before I reached out
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: to her, the creature had gotten her. It then did
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: something that I will never be able to forget for
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: the rest of my life. It tore up Emily's hands
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: and legs like a broken doll, and then started to
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: devour her. I screamed and screamed, but the creature didn't stop.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: I heard it munching on my poor friend's flesh. Soon,
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: a group of seven to eight guards rushed downstairs. Damien
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: took me out, and the guards tried to stop the
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: creature from escaping the facility. I guess they were able
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: to contain sep ninety six again. I will never be
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: able to forgive myself for acting like a stupid kid
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: who led her friend to die. Damien and I left
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: the air as the research institute strictly informed us to
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: go underground for a while. Emily's parents were told that
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: she died in a lab accident. I was unable to
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: lie to them, so I left the town in my college.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: I haven't contacted my parents for a week now, and
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I'll be able to. Even if
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: I do, I have no idea what explanation I'll give
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: them about my miserable life.
