Each figure is archetypal in design and symbolizes a category of 
interpersonal relationship, such as parental, familial or romantic 
bonds. The subject perceives each figure as an unattainable person 
with whom they shared that particular connection. Where no 
persons in the subject’s life correspond to a figure, the puppet is 
non-anomalous. Close observation of the silhouettes by subjects 


have revealed they behave as the real individuals in all aspects, 
even mirroring nervous tics and gesticulations only the viewer would 
have been privy to. The silhouettes move with a fluidity and 
precision that would be impossible with ordinary shadow puppets. 
The figures, however, do not vocalize. 


Note that male figures can be observed as female silhouettes, and 
vice versa. The list of SCP-1112 items currently includes: 


* SCP-1112-1: A concubine figure in a traditional gown. Often 
observed as the individual's dead lover, ex-wife, old flame, or 
an object of unrequited affection. 


* SCP-1112-2: An Emperor figure wearing battle armor and 
brandishing a sword. Observed as the subject’s dead/ 
estranged father or father figure. 


* SCP-1112-3: An Empress figure in royal wear. Observed as 
the subject's dead/estranged mother or mother figure. 


* SCP-1112-4: An ornately adorned ascetic figure with a 
demonic visage. Observed as a person that has inflicted 
physical and/or psychological trauma on the subject. 


Although there have been no recorded effects of memetic 
compulsion to animate the items, individuals that do so (hereby 
referred to as users) become silent until the current ‘play’ is 
concluded. Looking behind the screen reveals no cause of the 
figure’s perceptual effects; the users simply operate the puppets 
according to their desires and ability but are unresponsive to 
external stimuli. As long as the figures are being moved behind the 
screen, SCP-1112's effects will manifest. When the user ceases 
operating the figures, all scenes will conclude together, however 
varied in nature. 


The play users perform is never seen by the audience and has no 
bearing on the subject matter perceived. The nature and content of 
the performances is tailored specifically to individual members of the 
audience, even if other persons are present in room. Content of 
scenes tends to vary wildly depending on the figures used, the 
status of the subject’s relationship with the perceived persons, and 


other psychological predilections. Due to the intimate and emotional 
subject matter of the performances, understanding the context of 
documented scenes is dependent on the subject's interpretation of 
what are often private, inscrutable, and disturbing revelations into 
their loved one’s lives. 


Recorded plays with only one figure have included scenes depicting 
the person’s final hours in real time, birth, childhood, traumatic 
experiences, everyday life, personal triumphs and more esoteric 
scenes that could not possibly have occurred, but are inferred to be 
symbolic representations of some aspect of the late person's life. 
Plays that have included multiple figures have deviated wildly in 
content, such as the figures holding a roundtable discussion on their 
opinion of the subject (inferred due to lack of vocalizations), to 
[DATA EXPUNGED].

Experiment 1112-001: 

Subject: D-12344, middle-aged male with deceased 
mother 

Figures: 1112-2 

Reported Description: Subject became increasingly 
agitated over the duration of the play, and became 
hostile when questioned by Dr. . Subject was 
sedated and forcibly contained in a psychiatric holding 
cell until Dr. explained the nature of SCP-1112 and 
was able to coax D-12344 into cooperating. Subject 
reportedly witnessed a silhouette of his late mother 
violently assaulted by an invisible assailant for three 
minutes and thirty four seconds. Scene matched the 
memory subject had of an identical assault by his 
mother's then-partner, a of Wichita, Kansas. 
Foundation Agents were able to procure appropriate 
records from the WPD and found a domestic assault 
charge from //_ . Attached police report confirmed the 
sequence of events. 


We've established the veracity of the scenes SCP-1112 


presents to us, so we know it is either capable of limited 
omniscience in regards to what it performs' for its 
viewers or that it somehow dredges up old memories. 
Research is ongoing - Dr. 


Experiment 1112-003 

Subject: D-13996, middle-aged male with deceased 
parents 

Figures: 1112-2 and 1112-3 

Reported Description: Subject described having 
observed the silhouettes of his mother and father 
ballroom dancing for nine minutes and fourteen seconds. 
D-13996 was unaware of the scene ever occurring, and 
stressed their marriage was generally untroubled. 
Whether the play event was a re-enactment of a real life 
occurrence or a metaphorical interpretation of a 
relationship on the part of the item is as of yet 
undetermined. 


Experiment 1112-013 

Subject: D-19564, late-20s female with deceased 
parents and ex-husband 

Figures: 1112-1, -2, and -3 

Reported Description: Subject reported to have 
observed younger silhouettes of mother and father 
engaged in conversation with ex-husband. At 
approximately the four minute mark, the ex-husband 
reportedly placed his arm around the mother's waist, 
provoking a physical altercation between the two males. 
Subject's father was apparently knocked unconscious. 
Play ended on shot of ex-husband and mother in 
physical embrace. Subject became flustered while 
recounting the event. Placed in holding cell until 
conditions improve. 


We don't know if the items are deliberately fabricating 
psychologically harmful content, or if it is simulating 
some of its subject matter based on real, unquantifiable 
variables. We just don't know. - Dr. 


Experiment 1112-030 


Subject: D-13961, middle-aged male with a deceased 
mother 

Figures: 1112-3 

Reported Description: Subject observed the silhouette 
of his mother methodically dismembering itself over the 
span of an hour. Figure began with rear, progressed to 
the thighs, stomach, backside, and was amputating its 
left arm before D-13961 became hostile and testing was 
halted. The figure appeared to be unaffected despite 
severe blood loss. D-13961 became extremely unnerved 
as scene progressed and was placed in a holding cell for 
the remainder of the day. In a follow-up interview, 
D-13961 explained his mother had struggled with body 
dysmorphic disorder. Subject confirmed she had recently 
expired of natural causes. 


Even the most bizarre scenes have some basis in reality. 
— Dr. 


Experiment 1112-032 

Subject: D-18431, teenaged male incarcerated for 
murder 

Figures: 1112-4 and 1112-1 

Reported Description: 1112-4 reportedly manifested as 
[REDACTED]. 1112-4 proceeded to 1112-1 huddled on 
the far side of the screen and [DATA EXPUNGED]. 
Testing halted when subject broke restraints and 
assaulted user. Terminated ahead of schedule. First 
documented instance of a prop item materializing on 
screen. 1112-4 noted to have felt slightly warm to touch 
for next hour.

SCP-1113: Lachesis' Spinner 


Item #: SCP-1113 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to it posing no risk when in 
a passive state, SCP-1113 can be stored in a secure box ina 
standard containment room. If required for testing it may be signed 
out for use by Level 3 researchers and above. Any testing involving 
D-class mortality must be approved in writing by a member of senior 
staff prior to commencement. 


Description: SCP-1113 is a small spinning top comprised of a 
hollow bronze base, heavily oxidised and showing small flecks of 
blue from having been previously painted. The upper section is a 
porcelain figurine of the upper body of a woman, painted with 
enamel and with a blue and brown blouse made of a rough cotton. It 
is soun by means of wrapping the string around it and then pulling 
firmly to rotate the top at speed. The figurine is attached to the 
bronze segment by a clear resin-like glue concurrent with the 
apparent age of the manufacture (c.1915). The bronze component 
has been estimated by thermoluminescent dating to have been cast 
around 50 BCE (+ 40 years). There are imperfections in the alloy 
and tooling marks on the inside of the top that suggest that the 
bronze has been retooled and was formerly used in a different 
construction. 


When SCP-1113 is spun by hand the person doing so does not age 
or suffer any degeneration to their body due to the effects of aging 
or illness for as long as the top is spinning. Tests using automated 
robots spinning the top suggest that it will spin for anywhere up to 
fourteen hours when spun with sufficient force (using levels of force 
within realistic limits of human strength). Any wounds caused before 
or during the top being spun remain present and are not affected in 
any way. The individual is still mortal to life-threatening injury while 
the top is being spun. 


The top came to the attention of the Foundation in — when alerted 
by a member of the London Metropolitan police force with 
connections to the Foundation. He reported that it had been taken 
as evidence from a house in Brighton, UK which had been entered 
by Sussex police after reports by neighbours of an unpleasant smell. 
On forcing their way into the house they discovered the corpse of a 
man who was estimated to be around 70 years old. His body was on 
the floor with one arm stretched out under the sofa. Officers found 
the spinning top at the back of the sofa. His right palm showed 
heavy callouses at the base of all the fingers and a wound 
approximately 1cm deep across the centre of the palm which 
appeared to be cauterised through burning or friction. Estimates 
suggest that it would take many weeks of constant friction between 
the string and palm to cause such extensive damage. There was 
also severe damage to the right shoulder socket and extreme 
dislocation caused by the arm being overextended in attempts to 
reach the spinning top. 


Although there was very little personal information found in the flat 
the body was identified as belonging to Richard Mark Piper, from a 
19 driving license and a birth certificate found in the flat giving the 
deceased's date of birth as 24/12/18 . Further information may be 
found in the supplemental materials, consisting primarily of a set of 
journals found at the home of the deceased and the police witness 
reports from neighbours. 


Supplemental Materials 1113-2C: Fragment from 
Journal of Richard Mark Piper (errors author’s own): 


January, 19 : 


It definitely works. | mean, I’m not sure how, but every 
time | start the top spinning, it’s like my hands are 
opening, expanding like a parched man given a cantene 
of water. If I’d had this sooner | could have helped win 
this damn war. 

| wonder how it works, it’s magnetism perhaps, or some 
of that crystal howkum. Howkum? What am | saying? I’m 
writing this using a fountain pen with my wonderful, 
working hands! 


April, 19 : 


The people at the club are always asking how | look so 
good for my age. They think I’m a 60 year old that looks 
50 and they’re impresed, imagine if they knew the truth — 
| remember the last Coronation, let alone this one! This 
truly is a marvel, | wish | could tell the world what | have 
discovered, but then it would be taken from me, | know 
this. If only | could let Rachel use it, she seems so frale 
these days. But if | did | know she’d not be able to resist 
telling friends, woman can’t even get a new night cream 
without telling everyone on the street about it. 


June, 20 : 


Cant hold thpen very well, my hand is awfull sore, cant 
stop though, | can fel HIM brething down myneck, the 
reeper, | know Iv held HIM off too long, its getting harder 
andharder nowshe only spins for a cupple of minutes at 
atime. She must keep dancig, she dances so beatifuly. 


| don want to die. 


Addendum Although it’s clear that the effect of this item could result 
in its use becoming obsessive, we have no evidence on whether or 
not this is merely psychological or a conditioning created by the SCP 
itself. Until this is known it is suggested that use is restricted to D- 
class personnel.

SCP-1114: What a Dummy 


Item #: SCP-1114 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-1114 is to be contained in 
a secured modular locker at Storage Site-12. This locker is to be 
placed within the perimeter of the compound, at least 75 meters 
from any other structure or outdoor area accessible to personnel 
and/or SCPs. SCP-1114 is to be observed by a CCTV camera, the 
feed from which needs to be analyzed continually by optical image 
recognition software for potential changes to the SCP-1114's 
deformable face plating. The camera and the server running this 
software are to be connected to a backup power supply so that in 
the event of a power failure, continued surveillance is guaranteed. 
Weekly maintenance checks of both camera and server are to be 
executed by authorized technical staff. 


Tests using SCP-1114 are to be authorized by a level 4 member of 
research staff. If an anomaly is detected outside of scheduled 
testing, the senior research staff member on-site is to enact Protocol 
Wanderlust immediately. A security detail is to then search the area 
around SCP-1114's location for human remains should no such 
remains be present in its locker. 


Description: SCP-1114 is amodel SA- - automotive crash test 
dummy from the Hybrid II th series as manufactured by between 
19 and19 .A mark was discovered stamped into the underside of 
the SCP-1114's solid vinyl foot, identifying its production date as / 

/19 . Research into the company's history has not yielded any 
significant events around that time to account for the SCP-1114's 
properties. Samples taken from SCP-1114 indicate it is constructed 
of materials appropriate for both the time period in which it was 
manufactured and for the model in question: a steel skeletal 
construct with aluminum and bronze joints covered in various solid 
vinyl skin and vinyl foam components. 


In its inactive state, SCP-1114 is for all intents and purposes a 
typical automotive frontal impact crash test dummy. Its anomalous 
properties manifest when a human being sustains a physical injury 
within a range of 50 meters from its current position. SCP-1114 then 
imprints on the subject and its face plating remolds itself to resemble 
the face of the subject. Any physical injury through external forces 
will then manifest only on SCP-1114. This has been proven to 
include blunt force trauma and puncture wounds of various levels of 
severity. Strikes with blunt or sharp implements will appear to 
bounce off the subject, but if the blow would have severed any part 
of the subject's body, it will sever a corresponding part on 
SCP-1114. However, tests have also demonstrated that while the 
damage itself is not applied to the subjects, the pain is. When 
trauma is induced, subjects exhibit behavioral patterns appropriate 
to a person receiving that trauma. This includes screaming, weeping 
and on a physiological level, loss of consciousness. 


This effect has been observed to be reciprocal, with any damage 
done to SCP-1114 manifesting on the body of the subject imprinted 
on. When SCP-1114 is damaged, test subjects immediately develop 
the appropriate trauma and according sensations. If SCP-1114 is 
displaced by the injury caused, this movement does not appear to 
carry over to the subject. 


Damage done to the SCP-1114 when in its inactive state does not 
seem to have an abnormal effect. Damage shows up and remains 
on SCP-1114 until it next activates. At that point all damage 
disappears as described below.
