Incident 2502-1: On 5/5/2014, the line by which the disc was 
suspended came loose of the thumbtack to which the line was 
attached. Due to air currents from the store's climate-control system, 
the disc struck the floor of the establishment at an angle of 
approximately 0.01 radians. It 'slid' through the floor, cleaving a path 
through all intervening matter and traveling an ultimate distance of 
approximately 50 meters before coming to rest due to gravity and 
friction acting upon the surface of the disc in a manner similar to a 
vehicular disc-type brake. Foundation assets within Consolidated 
Edison Steam Operations reported a steam conduit malfunction 
seemingly caused by a compact disc perforating the conduit. Class 
A amnestics were administered to the Consolidated Edison 
employees who made the original discovery. 


Addendum: Recorded on 3/31/2016. As of this date, no 
containment breach nor degradation of containment apparatus has 
been detected. As such, this object has been re-designated Safe, as 
per standing directives - existing containment protocols are to be 
maintained. Submitted proposals for alternate containment 
methodology - hereby referred to as the "Mace Configuration" - have 
been denied by O5 review: while the Mace Configuration would 
allow the object to be utilized as a tool and/or weapon in the event of 
a Site-wide emergency, compromising the successful containment 
of this object is deemed not warranted at this time. 


The aforementioned O5 review approves the following emergency 
measures: the Mace Configuration and relevant equipment are to be 
maintained in-situ as a stand-by option. Personnel with clearance 
Level 3/2502 or higher may enact the Mace Configuration Protocol. 
Any personnel found activating this Protocol outside of a Site 
containment breach or higher emergency scenario will be subject to 
immediate sanction. 


Addendum: Recorded on 6/28/2016. Routine assay of Safe-class 
objects at Site-15 revealed a change in the audio playback of this 


object. Immediately following the previously documented audio track 
(designated SCP-2502-A), a second audio track was discovered 
(designated SCP-2502-B). No cognitohazards have been detected 
in either recording. SCP-2502-B was not present in any previous 
analyses of the object. SCP-2502-B is accessible via any device 
capable of playing an audio CD, and can be played directly by 
skipping to the second track, or by playing through the completion of 
SCP-2502-A as would be the typical behavior of an audio CD. 
SCP-2502-B has a run length of three hours, eight minutes and 
thirty seconds. This length is identical to SCP-2502-A as specified in 
this object's initial description. Analysis of SCP-2502-B confirms that 
it is a studio recording session by musician Saul Hudson®. As is the 
case with the SCP-2502-A, no record of this studio session can be 
found. The means by which SCP-2502-B was introduced into the 
object while in containment at Site-15 is currently unknown. 
Comparative analysis of the structure of the object, the 
aforementioned tracks, and complete review of containment 
procedures are underway. 


Addendum: Recorded on 3/14/2017. All requests to interview David 
Howell Evans and/or Saul Hudson pertaining to this object are 
preemptively denied by O5.

SCP-280 will move slowly towards any human beings and attempt to 
attack them. SCP-280 appears to sense human life; no limit has yet 
been found on this ability. SCP-280 will approach to within 14 
centimeters of a subject, and then use its hands to pull and tear at 
the subject, causing massive physical trauma. The attack can last 
between one and five minutes, and will continue until the death of 
the subject, at which point SCP-280 will expose its eyes, lose 
corporeal form, and move to the next human. If no humans are 
present, SCP-280 will move and ball up against a wall or other 
structure until a human being is again present. 


SCP-280 will retreat slowly from light, exposing its eyes in the 
direction of the light, or at any nearby humans. This has been 
described as extremely disconcerting by those who have been 
stared at. If the area that SCP-280 currently resides in becomes fully 
illuminated, or there is a very bright burst of light, SCP-280 will fade 
away and re-appear in another area. This appears to be done purely 
as a defensive response to light, and will not be used to follow or 
attack prey. 


SCP-280 does not appear to eat, breathe, or sleep. It does not 
ingest any of the tissue removed during an attack, and simply drops 
it to tear a new piece. Due to its ability to become incorporeal at will, 
and its aggressive nature, no samples of SCP-280 have been 
collected. 


Addendum: Notes on Recovery 


SCP-280 was recovered in , Mississippi after several reports 
of locked-room murders and child deaths. All were reported as being 
extremely vicious, and victims were "horribly mangled." The 
Foundation became involved after a family of five was murdered in 
their home. A survivor was found in the basement, 9-year-old David 

, who had come over for a sleep over. He was found in an 
advanced state of shock, holding a flashlight and unresponsive to 
outside stimulus. During an investigation of the basement, an officer 
was attacked and badly mutilated. His statement attracted the 
interest of Foundation agents. 


During recovery, SCP-280 was temporarily lost due to its ability to 
teleport when exposed to high levels of light. It was also observed 


SCP-2503: Estimated Distance: 9,216 Years 


Item #: SCP-2503 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: Due to its immovable nature, 
the site containing SCP-2503 has been acquired by the Foundation 
under the name of one Mr. Brendan Greenwood. Civilians are to be 
deterred from entering under the guise of dangerous building 
conditions. 


At all times, at least two security members for each of Site-2503’s 
entry points are to remain on site. Anyone who enters SCP-2503-1 
without permission is considered lost if reappearance does not take 
place through SCP-2503-2 within 80 hours. All entities emerging 
from SCP-2503-2 are to be detained for further questioning and 
research. Outsiders who access the containment site must be 
detained, questioned, and administered Class-B amnestics before 
release. Access is currently available to research personnel with 
Level-2 clearances only, and SCP-2503-1 should remain open for 
the duration of non-D-class experiments (See Incident 2503-A). 


Description: SCP-2503 is a temporal-spatial anomaly that exists 
within Site-2503, located within a town about kilometers north of 
Burnaby, BC, Canada. Site-2503 is a residential house constructed 
in 1952 and has been unoccupied since 197 , resulting in the current 
state of disrepair. The previous owners of the house were declared 
missing in 197 . The room SCP-2503 locates is the master bedroom 
on the second floor, henceforth referred to as SCP-2503-1. 
SCP-2503’s anomalous properties are only activated and displayed 
when someone enters it through SCP-2503-1’s door. Otherwise 
when observed through another channel — such as the windows of 
SCP-2503-1 — only an empty room is visible. However, upon 
opening the door of SCP-2503-1, a path made of concrete tiles 
extending into the horizontal distance can be seen under a dimly 
illuminated sky with no identifiable light source. This space is 


assumed to be the inner space of SCP-2503. 


The presence of SCP-2503 was discovered in 199 when local 
police force received reports of a gunshot being heard from within 
Site-2503 on the morning of 199 / / . Upon investigation the police 
team discovered in the garage the dead body of a man in his 30s, 
who was later confirmed as being Henry , an architectural 
designer from Vancouver, BC declared missing 3 days ago. Autopsy 
has later concluded that his death was due to an act of suicide. 
During the comprehensive search of the site, the police discovered 
the presence of SCP-2503 and an embedded agent notified the 
Foundation, which then quickly took over the case and transformed 
the house into a containment site. 


Observations indicate the time and space within SCP-2503 behave 
differently from our conventional understanding. Due to its nature, 
subjects that enter SCP-2503 do not age while inside SCP-2503's 
space. Subjects within SCP-2503 will perceive the passage of time 
but will not experience it. The speed with which subjects travels 
within SCP-2503 does not influence the amount of time it 
experiences. 


It is unknown exactly how far the path within SCP-2503 stretches. 
SCP-2503 connects SCP-2503-1 to a small storage room 
(henceforth referred to as SCP-2503-2) within Site-2503's garage 
where a temporal-spatial distortion is detected via Geiger-Gregorian 
algorithms and traced back to SCP-2503-1. Currently, SCP-2503-2 
is the only known exit of SCP-2503-1. 


Addendum 2503-001: Incident 2503-A 


Date: 199 / / 

Description: Upon arriving at Site-2503 with the initial containment 
team, Agent ventured into SCP-2503-1 by himself. Through his 
personal intercom he expressed shock that when the door of 
SCP-2503-1 accidentally closed behind him, it vanished from his 
perspective within SCP-2503 and was no longer accessible. The 
containment team outside of SCP-2503-1 then immediately opened 
the door, but Agent was nowhere to be found, despite his 
insistence that he had not moved since entry. Through the intercom 
Agent suggested that he should “walk forward a bit and see 


where this thing ends.” However, communication soon ceased from 
his end and no further contact has been established. Agent 
was thus declared missing. 


Addendum 2503-002: Experiments Conducted on SCP-2503 


Experiment 1 

Subject: A semi-autonomous drone with built-in GPS and camera 
Note: The drone was sent into SCP-2503-1 and began sending 
back audio-visual feed after the door closed. At this moment, its 
GPS was no longer able to track its location and soon went offline. 
Video feed showed that concrete path did not seem to change with 
distance, and no other visible entity was present. Noteworthy was 
that despite the 6-hour battery life of the drone, it operated for much 
longer — about 39 hours before the signal was lost for unknown 
reason. 


Experiment 2 

Subject: D-029-271, equipped with a fully charged intercom and a 
standard explorer’s kit with sufficient rations for about 3 days 

Note: D-029-271 was sent into SCP-2503-1 and told to walk forward 
along the path and report any discovery. The intercom equipped on 
D-029-271 was set to remain online for the duration of the 
experiment. The first thirty minutes of the experiment were 
uneventful. However, when the research team outside of 
SCP-2503-1 asked if D-029-271 wanted to take a break, D-029-271 
responded that he did not feel tired, hungry, or thirsty at all, and 
expressed shock that only thirty minutes had passed, reporting to 
have felt “as if hours or even days have gone by”. About fifty-three 
minutes into the experiment, signals from D-029-271’s intercom 
began to experience interference from within SCP-2503. All 
communications with D-029-271-2503 ceased at the 56 minute 
mark. D-029-271 was considered lost at this point.

The following document was recovered from the 
personal belongings of Henry _ . On the floor next to 
his body where he was discovered, there is a bag 
containing one Nokia 9110i cell phone, an industrial- 
sized notepad labeled as the property of , four 


Hershey’s candy wrappers, one 1958 issue of Playboy 
magazine, a standard Foundation personnel field kit, and

Addendum: Excerpts from Recovered Document 
2503-1 


To whoever finds this note, 


| don’t know who or where you might be, but if luck is on 
your side, let’s hope you did not end up like me, trapped 
in wherever the hell this place is. 


My name is Henry . | was born and raised in 
Vancouver, BC, Canada, and married to Rosaline. 
Together we were blessed with a daughter, Marianne, 
who will be turning 2 this year. My address is St, 
Vancouver. If you happen to come across this note by 
chance, please deliver it to my family — you may demand 
some payment for your service. 


To be honest, | am not very certain how | ended up here 
in the first place. | work at , an architectural 
firm. Things are just like you’d expect of a middle class 
white collar — busy, all the time, but fulfilling. Every 
Friday night my department hosts a pub night for us 
fellas to blow off some steam after a hard week at work. 
So | was there this week too, along with a couple of 
coworkers from other departments. We’ve had some 
newbies joining so this turned into a welcome party of 
some sort, and | ended up drinking a little more than | 
probably should. At some point, | just blacked out 
completely, but before that | do remember asking Will 
and Kevin to get me home. It now looks like they didn’t 
do as they were asked. 


When | woke up | just found myself here — lying on this 
path that leads to nowhere. It was funny how the first 
thing | did was to check my bag and wallet. Nothing was 


stolen, but | found something that wasn’t there before. It 
was a folded piece of paper with a pocket watch 
attached. | thought the paper was written by me at first 
because of the handwriting but | don't recall ever writing 
anything like this. It's on the next page for your 
reference... 


Please don’t take this personally. 


Henry, you've been a great sport. Loved your 
work, loved your company, loved your outlook 
on life — that’s why you're here. From you | 
learned a great deal about myself, and you are 
thanked dearly for your mentorship. That’s why 
| think of leaving with you a little parting gift 
before | go. 


Consider this your deserving utopia. Always 
racing with the clock you were, but at here you 
are free from that. The time is in your hands, 
and will only move forward so long as you do. 
It won't leave your grasp, ever, so you don’t 
have to run all the time like you once did — 
walking is good, and will do. 


Isn’t this something worth rejoicing over? 


I’m sure you will find that this is where you 
truly belong, and you may wander wherever 
you like. Don’t worry about food and water — 
there are more important things that should 
occupy your mind. If you ever want to leave, 
just follow the path and let the timer act as 
your guide to the exit — it will be a bit of a long 
walk, but you'll be fine. 


After all, the time is in your hands. 


...| would assume they were left by whoever got me 
here. In any case, | don’t know who that may be — interns 
come and go all the time. Hell, could be that Wesley kid 


from last month - | Knew he'd be trouble if we kept him.
