Result: The item activates 12 seconds after 
Subject A and Subject B enter its area of 
influence. Item proceeds to engage with 
Subject A in a drawing contest. Papers and 
crayons are provided. SCP-3174 prompts 
Subject B to join. Subject B is instructed to 
refuse. SCP-3174 insists for about 22 minutes 
with increasing harshness before assaulting 
Subject B without lethal force, pulling her hair 
until Subject B was instructed to join the 
drawing session. At that point, the item 
immediately returned to being docile, and the 
test continued without incident for 3 hours and 
45 minutes, until Subject A fell asleep, causing 
SCP-3174 to deactivate. A small, gold token 
engraved with "Beste Mutter" ("best mother" in 
German) is found in Subject B's pocket. The 
badge doesn't show any anomalous 
properties, and has been stored for further 
testing. 


Experiment 3174-03 

Subject A: Small (age 6) 

Subject B: Hardy (Adoptive father) 
Relationship: Relationship between subject A 
and subject B has been described as 
functional and close. 

Result: The item activates 17 seconds after 
Subject A and Subject B enter its area of 
influence. It then engaged subject A in a game 
of cops and robbers, playing the role of robber. 
The item prompted Subject B to join. Subject B 
was instructed to do so. Test continued without 
incident for 1 hour and 23 minutes, until 
Subject A declared being "tired", causing 
SCP-3174 to deactivate. A small, gold token 
engraved with "Bester Vater" ("best father" in 
German) is found in Subject B's pocket. The 
badge doesn't show any anomalous 
properties, and has been stored for further 
testing. 


Experiment 3174-04 

Subject A: McConnell (age 5) 

Subject B: Baglio (Uncle) 

Relationship: Relationship between Subject A 
and Subject B has been described as not very 
close. 

Result: SCP-3174 did not activate. 


Experiment 3174-05 

Subject A: Braune (age 10) 

Subject B: Carter (mother) 
Relationship: Relationship between Subject A 
and Subject B has been described as 
dysfunctional, as Subject B does not have the 
time to take care of Subject A 

Result: The item activates 7 seconds after 
subject A and subject B enter into its area of 
influence. Item proceeds to play ‘doctor’ with 
Subject A, prompting Subject B to join. Subject 


B is instructed to do so. The test continues 
without incident for 38 minutes, before Subject 
A declares they are happy, causing SCP-3174 
to deactivate. A small silver token engraved 
with "Gut! Mach Weiter!" ("good! keep it up"in 
German) is found in Subject B's pocket. The 
badge doesn't show any anomalous 
properties, and has been stored for further 
testing.

Subject A: Ivanov (age 10) 

Subject B: D-8872-05 (father) 

Relationship: Subject B has a history of 
domestic abuse towards Subject A and her 
mother. 

Result: The item activates 2 seconds after 
Subject A and Subject B enter into its area of 
influence. Item is noted to move in a jittery 
manner. As soon as D-8872-05 enters the 
item's field of view, SCP-3174 assaulted 
Subject B, rapidly climbing up his clothes 
before starting to hit his face with considerable 
blunt force, causing numerous wounds that 
included a broken nose and a broken jaw 
before deactivating on its own. A small copper 
token stating "LASSEN SIE SIE IN RUHE!" 
("leave them alone!" in German) is found in 
Subject B's pocket. The badge does not show 
any anomalous properties, and has been 
stored for further testing. 


Experiment 3174-07 

Subject A: Pender (age 6) 

Subject B: N/A (deceased) 

Relationship: 

Result: The item did not activate when 
Subject A entered its area of influence. After 
27 seconds, Subject A started to vocalize 
excitement, and began to talk and play on her 


own. When later questioned, Subject A 
described two entities, who were later 
identified as Subject B's parents, coming out 
from behind SCP-3174 to play with her. No 
trace of these entities has been picked up by 
security cameras, nor any anomaly from 
SCP-3174. A small platinum token engraved 
with "We love you." in English was found into 
Subject A's pocket. The badge does not show 
any anomalous properties, and has been 
stored for further testing. 


Experiment 3174-08 

Subject A: N/A (deceased) 

Subject B: Agent Wray (mother) 
Relationship: N/A 

Result: [REDACTED] A small platinum token 
engraved with "you are the best mommy!" in 
English was found in Subject B's pocket. The 
badge does not show any anomalous 
properties, and has been stored for further 
testing. SCP-3174 was recovered without 
incident. Agent Wray requested administration 
of amnestic. The request was granted. 


Incident 3174-A: On //2008, SCP-3174 broke containment. Due 
to the containment procedures at the time, no one noticed until the 
breach had already occurred. SCP-3174 managed to sneak into Dr. 
Corvino's office and kidnap him, physically dragging him out of the 
site without encountering any resistance due to the suddenness of 
the escape. Dr. Corvino contacted Foundation personnel after 2 
hours and 45 minutes, as SCP-3174 had brought Dr. Corvino back 
to his home, where his daughter (age 8) was having a birthday 
party. SCP-3174 forced Dr. Corvino to take part in the celebration, 
and then proceeded to entertain all children present with a game of 
hide and seek until Foundation personnel came to retrieve it without 
further incident. All civilians involved were given class-B amnestic 
and released. A small silver token engraved with "anwesend sein" 
("Be present" in German) was found in Dr. Corvino's pocket. The 
badge does not show any anomalous properties, and has been 


SCP-404: Memories Lost, Memories Found 


Item #: SCP-404 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-404 is to be kept in 
Section Alpha-1 of the Documents Repository. Any movement of 
SCP-404 beyond Section Alpha-1 will result in termination. 


Description: SCP-404 is a pair of large manila envelopes, one of 
which has a series of pages attached to the front. Each page is 
stamped with a name/date/time/number table and contains multiple 
entries with known and unknown names. The ink has been dated to 
1833, +10 years and the folder dated to 1834, +10 years. Many 
signatures are noted on the grid, notably those of former Document 
Repository Administrators (dated -- ), (dated - - ), 
and (dated - -_ ). All signatures also are followed by a 
numerical reference number. Currently there are over 1000 
signatures on these pages with additional pages appearing on their 
own when the previous ones become full. A count of these pages 
has proven impossible as has the contents of the envelope as 
mentioned later. 


Contained inside SCP-404 are a series of large 8 x 10 photographs. 
Attempts to count the exact number of photographs have thus far 
failed. When a person attempts to count the total photographs they 
will invariably get a number wrong at least twice and have to start 
over. If more than one person attempts to count them they will begin 
to debate what number they were at last and start over. lf a 
mechanized system is used to count the photographs it will either 
glitch, fail, freeze, or skip causing a recount to be required. 


Any person may pick up and access the first envelope, known as 

SCP-404-A, they may withdraw a single photograph at a time from 
the envelope. This photo will always be blank when drawn out and 
will remain so until five (5) seconds have passed. Should the photo 


stored for further testing. After the incident, Dr. Corvino requested to 
be transferred to a less time-consuming role; request is pending. 


SCP-3175: A Wish Granted 


Item #: SCP-3175 
Object Class: Safe (presumed Neutralized) 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3175 is housed in a 
Standard Humanoid Containment Unit at Site . Toys, books, games 
and other stimulation are to be provided at the discretion of Dr. 
SCP-3175 is to be allowed up to two hours of outdoor play per day 
under supervision. 


Description: SCP-3175 is Lonnie James of ’ 
recorded date of birth / /2010. In all physiological respects, 
SCP-3175 appears to be a normal 6-year-old boy. Psychologically 
and cognitively, SCP-3175 displays a number of abnormalities which 
remain unexplained. 


SCP-3175 claims to be Edwin Makepeace of , , recorded 
date of birth / /19561'. According to SCP-3175, sometime during 
the night of / /2016, after celebrating his 60th birthday, he found 
his consciousness transported by means unknown into the body of 
SCP-3175. 


Recovery: SCP-3175 came to the attention of the Foundation in 
2016 during a routine review of school records as part of Project 
SAMSARA. was flagged as possibly of interest to Project 
SAMSARA based on repeated disciplinary action for “telling the 
most ridiculous lies” in class. was subjected to preliminary 
psychological screening under the supervision of Dr. , and 
although not found to meet the inclusion criteria for Project 
SAMSARA, was subsequently catalogued as SCP-3175. SCP-3175 
was taken into Foundation custody under the cover story of the fatal 
rupture of a previously undiagnosed cerebral aneurysm. SCP-3175 
has been transferred to secure housing at Site

Dr. : Hello, Lonnie. My name is Dr. _Id 
like to talk to you a little bit, if that’s all right. 


: Sure, Doc. 


Dr. : These incidents at school have us all 
a little concerned. | wonder if you could tell me 


/ 


about them? 


: Look, you'd have told people too. | 
mean look at me! 


Dr. : What do you mean? 


: I’m a kid again! | can hear! | can see! 
I’ve got so much energy | can barely sit still! 
Yeah, | know, “Keep it to yourself, Edwin,” that 
was the plan. But...some things you just can’t 
keep bottled up. 


Dr. : Who is Edwin, Lonnie? 


: Me! Or not me, | guess, not any more, 
but the me who | was. 


Dr. : Do you mean you were reincarnated? 
Do you know what that means? 


: Don’t patronize me, Doc. No, | wasn’t 
reincarnated. I—well, | guess | made a wish. 


Dr. : | see. Go on? 


: Lizzie and Marcus and their boys, they 
threw me this surprise party. Did up the whole 
downstairs, like it was a kid’s party, you know? 
Balloons and streamers, ice cream and cake. 
You know those candles shaped like 
numbers? Lizzie put them on the cake. Six and 
oh. “Make a wish,” she said. And | guess | did. 


Dr. : And what was your wish? 


: You’re not supposed to tell a birthday 
wish, Doc. If you do it won’t come true. 


Dr. : But you believe your wish aid come 
true, is that right? 


: Yeah, that’s a fair point. It was the 
candles, okay? There was the six and there 
was the oh, like | said, for sixty, and | was just 
looking at the six. And | remember thinking, 
“Wouldn’t that be nice. Wouldn't it be nice to 
be six and to have it all to do over again.” 


Dr. : And then what? 


: And then nothing. | blew out the 
candles, we ate the cake. Opened presents. 
They gave me socks, these great thick wool 
socks. | wore them to bed that night. They 
were great. But then the next morning, | woke 
up, and... [Subject indicates himself.] 


Dr. : And? 
: And look at me! 


Dr. : And you have memories of your 
previous life? 


: Oh sure. | remember lots of stuff. In 
fourteen ninety two, Columbus sailed the 
ocean blue. America was founded in 1776.2 
Righty tighty, lefty loosey. Six times twelve is 
seventy two. | remember it all. Except... 


Dr. : Except? 


: Well, Lizzie had these two boys. Twins. 
Beautiful little boys. Dalton and...and | can’t 
remember the other one. Doc, | can’t 
remember my grandson’s name.

Whether there is any truth to subject’s account 
we cannot currently speculate, but subject is 
clearly both cognitively and psychologically 
abnormal. No relevance to Project SAMSARA, 


but recommend classification and transfer to 
secure housing for further evaluation. 


Further recommend attempt to recover and 
classify birthday candle artifacts described by 
subject.

Dr. : How have you been settling in, 
SCP-3175? 


SCP-3175: Okay. Food’s good. Don’t like 
being called that, though. 


Dr. : I’m sorry, but it’s part of our 
procedures. Do you understand what that 
means? 


SCP-3175: [No response.] 


Dr. : Sorry. | don’t mean to condescend. 
You have to remember...well, how you look. 


SCP-3175: Oh, | remember. Every morning | 
wake up in a bed that feels four sizes too big. | 
go to piss and here’s this little pee pee. | brush 
my teeth but they're all wrong. Baby teeth, 


see? 
Dr. : It seems like you’re not feeling very 
well today. 


SCP-3175: Oh I’m fine. Been having 
headaches. 


Dr. : Yes, | remember. Have the painkillers 
not helped? 


SCP-3175: They help some. 

Dr. : Do you have any special requests? 
SCP-3175: | could go for a cigarette. 

Dr. : | don’t— 


SCP-3175: Just kidding, Doc. | gave ’em up 
years ago. Don’t suppose you can tell me 
when I’m getting out of here though? | know 
I’ve got my whole life ahead of me [SCP-3175 
laughs] but time’s a-wastin’, you know? When 
can | go home?

SCP-3175: Soon my foot. 
Dr. : | beg your pardon? 


SCP-3175: You keep telling me I’m gonna go

What’s the point of being a kid again if | have 
to stay in this zoo?
