What you encountered appears to be an invasive 
species of constrictor snake, accidentally imported from 
Uzbekistan. We just need to confirm some details before 
it can be properly reported and dealt with. 


J.B.: Snake? It looked nothing like a fucking snake... It 
was... | dunno... Like a skin... Live skin, like on my arm. 
Hell, it even had hair. And it was flying. 


Researcher F _ : It can float for short distances. It's a 
relatively rare species, it just has better living conditions 
under our geography. A lot like rabbits in Australia. But 
regardless. Your colleague told us he found you lying in 
the maintenance hall. Can you tell me what happened? 


J.B.: It was Tuesday, | think. | was doing two shifts, one 
for Gergely. Happened about an hour through the 
second one... Not sure. | went to take a leak, then... 
What did I... Right. See, | heard... | thought | heard the 
radio. Thought Béla left it on or something, and | didn't 
notice before... Fuck, | thought, he's gonna waste all the 
battery. So | went to look for it. Thought | heard it from 
one of the storage rooms... | thought... See, we went 
there for a smoke sometimes. It was odd, too. Sounded 
like... | think | heard it once on television, in some movie. 


Researcher F _ : Possible. Carry on, what happened 
when you entered? 


J.B.: | went in... Wait, no. | ran in... See, | was walking 
through the hall, and suddenly the music stopped, and | 
thought | heard a voice... So | grabbed a wrench, and 


ran in, see... We had a trespasser before... the gate 
guard is rather old, and he likes the bottle. We've had a 
few problems with him. 


Researcher F — : What problem? 


J.B.: Hobos, the fucks. Fuck them. Like, through winter, 
but all the time, some'd sneak in to sleep and make a 
fucking mess. 


Researcher F =: So you went in. What happened? 


J.B.: At first, nothing. | opened the door, nobody there. 
Went in, then... fuck. | heard the... shriek from behind 
and above me. | turned, and this... thing. Like | said... 
Like a carpet or bed sheet... But it was floating in air, 
curled up, like... A bit of it was like a tube, and... It... The 
music started again. And it went at me... fast, like a cat 
running. | froze... Then got my shit together, tried to hit it 
with the wrench. Didn't help. 


Researcher F _ : Did the hit damage it any? 


J.B.: Oh, that... that it did. See, | got a pretty strong 
arm... the wrench tore a hole in it. Sprayed something 
out, too. But it didn't care. See, the thing sort of flexed 
around my arm. And then it went up... it was warm and it 
felt like being licked by a dog, but it held my arm really 
tight. | tried to yank it out but | fell... Then, the thing 
began sliding up, and up my sleeve. Like | said, it looked 
like skin, with hair. | think | saw a head or some such, but 
| don't know... Then it wrapped around what it could, tore 
through my shirt. Didn't make with the belt, fuck - thank 
to Virgin Mary - hell. Because then, see... Once it had 
me wrapped tight, it began doing something, it started 
slow, but then it burned like when you're chopping 
fefferons and touch your eye or dick or some... fuck. And 
it wouldn't let go... | tried to move, got it to budge a bit, 
but it wrapped again, tighter. And it... | think a part of it 
was humming again, but might be just my head. Hell, | 
don't remember how long | was there. 


Researcher F — : What do you recall next? 


J.B. When it finally let me go, floated up, off, quite quick. 
| tried getting up, | was... my legs, arms, all fell asleep. 
Took me ages to just get moving again... | ran to the 
main maintenance hall, wanted to get the telephone, call 
someone... |... | think | tripped or something. The next 
thing | recall was Béla swearing and slapping me... must 
have been his shift or what. He took me to the hospital, 
thought | hurt my head talking about this. 


Researcher F _— : That'll be all, thank you. Please, take 
this pill - it's an antivenin. The poison of this snake 
species is rather subversive - causes hallucinations at 
first, and if left untreated, liver damage after a few days. 


J.B.: Thanks... fuck, the doctors didn't know about that. 


<End Log> 


Closing Statement: J.B. was administered Class-A 
amnestics, the injury being explained to him as steam 
burns following a boiler accident. The hospital staff were 
informed his injuries were self-inflicted and they, as well 
as his testimony, resulted from delusions of his own skin 
attacking him. 


Footnotes 

1. The size of the captured specimens varies within 15% of a set 
limit, with the exception of one instance which is only 1.8 x 0.9 min 
size. Thickness has been shown to vary throughout each specimen 
between 2-50 mm depending on presence of additional organs, or 
subcutaneous fat deposits. 

2. Examination has shown the presence of several cavities filled with 
hydrogen gas roughly 20 x 150 x 5 mm in size at roughly 200 mm 
spacing in the captive specimens, however, the volume of hydrogen 
gas present isn't sufficient to explain the low density of SCP-1308, 
and current hypotheses consider these to be vibration-sensing 
organs. 

3. It is suspected the shaped keratinous platelets on the surface play 
a significant role in such emissions by acting as vibration nodes. 


4. The lower surface of SCP-1308 has been shown to be resistant to 
this effect, while the upper is not.

SCP-1309: Time-Locked Town 


Item #: SCP-1309 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: Site 24 has been constructed 
seven kilometers east of SCP-1309 for purposes of observation and 
record keeping. Any non-authorized individuals found approaching 
either area are to be detained, questioned, and administered Class- 
B amnestics prior to their release. 


SCP-1309 is to be continuously monitored for any irregular activity, 
including spatial anomalies or behavior of its inhabitants. Interaction 
with the inhabitants of SCP-1309 outside of authorized testing and 
interviews is to be kept to a minimum. Inhabitants showing 
continuous or otherwise invasive interest in Foundation personnel or 
objectives are to be administered Class-B amnestics. Because the 
mechanics of SCP-1309's anomalous properties are not yet fully 
understood, personnel are forbidden from spending more than 
twelve consecutive hours within SCP-1309. 


Description: SCP-1309 is the town of Kleinberg, located in Dewey 
County, South Dakota, although inhabitants claim they are located 
within Armstrong County.1 SCP-1309 has a population of 
approximately 2,300. The town's inhabitants are of amicable 
disposition, and are generally receptive to questions from 
Foundation personnel. Biological analyses show no abnormalities 
within the inhabitants. 


SCP-1309 is effectively locked in a recursive period of time within 
the 1920's. Long-term observation has determined that events do 
not repeat with each cycle, and inhabitants retain all memories and 
experiences between cycles. Analysis of on-site records, coupled 
with interviews, have determined that the period of time is 3,289 
days long, extending from February 5th, 1920 to August 19th, 1928. 
No discernible spatial or temporal anomalies are detectable when 


the cycle resets. The inhabitants of the town live and age as would 
be expected, and both deaths and births have been observed. 


As of writing, the only constant events in each cycle are the 
inhabitants’ perceptions of time, and all outside news received in 
SCP-1309 via radio broadcasts or newspapers. Newspapers and 
radio broadcasts received in SCP-1309 are consistent with 
documentation from that time period, and repeat on the correct 
dates. Assuming that the anomaly first took effect in accordance 
with the actual August 19th, 1928, SCP-1309 has experienced this 
eight-year cycle approximately ten times. 


SCP-1309 is largely self-sufficient. However, supplies that are rare 
or otherwise difficult to produce or obtain locally are delivered by a 
truck that materializes at the edge of SCP-1309, and upon delivering 
supplies, dematerializes at the opposite edge. Commonly delivered 
supplies include non-local newspapers, brand-name products and 
food, and certain raw materials. Interrogation of the drivers has 
determined that they have no awareness of any anomalous 
properties. 


Observation has determined that if an inhabitant of SCP-1309 
attempts to leave SCP-1309, they will dematerialize at the edge of 
the town, and immediately materialize on the opposite side. 
Questioning has found that inhabitants who disappear and reappear 
in this fashion believe they have just returned from an extended 
vacation. However, SCP-1309's inhabitants typically show no desire 
to venture outside of their town, often stating they are content with 
life in their town. Inhabitants show no awareness of anomalous 
properties, even when explicitly brought to their attention. See 
attached documentation for more detail. 


SCP-1309 Interview Log 


Interviewer: Researcher Laura 
Interviewed: George 

Note: The interview was conducted at the 
beginning of a new cycle 


<Begin Log> 


Researcher Laura : Good morning, Mr. 


George —_: Morning, ma'am. 


Researcher Laura : I'd like to ask you a 
few questions, if that's alright? 


George _ : It's no trouble at all. This for the 
papers or something? 


Researcher Laura : Yes, just a simple 
survey. Now, can | ask how old you are? 


George’: | am twenty-nine years old. 
Researcher Laura : And your birth date? 
George — : March 15th, 1922. 


Researcher Laura : Thank you. Just for 
the record, what is today's date? 


George — : February 5th. 


Researcher Laura : And the year? It 
seems to have slipped my mind. 


George _ : Funny thing to lose track of. It's 
1920. 


Researcher Laura : Thank you. Now, 
what was yesterday's date? 


George _ : It was August 19th, 1928. What 
exactly is this about? 


Researcher Laura : Bear with me, this is 
just routine. Now, if you're able, could you 
name the last seven Presidents of the United 
States? 


George — : Is this some sort of history quiz? 
My memory isn't perfect, but I'm pretty sure it 
would be Wilson, Harding, then Harding died 
in office, so Coolidge took over, then Wilson, 
Harding, but he died two years into his term, 
Coolidge, and right now we have President 
Woodrow Wilson. 


Researcher Laura :Mr.  , does 
anything you have told me strike you as odd? 


George: No, why would it? 


Researcher Laura : You told me that your 
birthday is March 15th, 1922, and that today's 
date is February 5th, 1920, correct? And that 
the same three men have served as President 
for the last seven terms. 


George _ :| did say that. What are you 
getting at? 


Researcher Laura : Think it through, Mr. 
. You believe that it is 1920. That is a full 
two years before you say you were even born. 


George — : Right. 


Researcher Laura : Furthermore, you 
said that yesterday it was 1928. Do you 
believe eight years have suddenly 
disappeared? 


George — : I'm not sure! understand what 
you mean. Are you sure you're not confused? 


Researcher Laura : Do you know when 
your parents married, Mr. ? 


George : They married in 1924. 


Researcher Laura : Which is four years 


from now. 
George __: That's correct. 


Researcher Laura : That isn't at all 
strange to you? 


George :Noma'‘am. 


Researcher Laura : Alright. Tell me, Mr. 
, how do you like living in your town? 


George _ : It's perfect. I'd never want to be 
anywhere but here and now. 


Researcher Laura : Thank you very 
much Mr. _ , | believe we're done here. 


George _ : You're welcome, | guess. Not sure 
what you got from this.

Addendum 1309-A 

A thorough survey of on-site historical records has revealed that the 
inhabitants of SCP-1309 have diverged from the sociopolitical norms 
of the 1920s on more than one occasion. Some significant events 
are documented below. Due to the disorganized and repetitive 
nature of SCP-1309's available records, it is difficult to tell when 
events took place in regards to actual dates. However, a tentative 
order of events has been established. 


SCP-1309 Event Log 


Perceived dates within SCP-1309: June 1927 through 
May 1923 

Description: A significant portion of SCP-1309's 
population began advocating for the civil rights of 
African-Americans. This movement does not have any 
discernible catalyst. This movement carried on for 
approximately six years. 

Notes: Race relations within SCP-1309 do not currently 


appear to be significantly different from what would be 
expected of 1920s North America. 


Perceived dates within SCP-1309: October 1921 
through April 1923 

Description: Inhabitants of SCP-1309 began staging 
regular protests in front of the city hall, demanding that 
Warren G. Harding repeal the "recently passed" 19th 
Amendment. Analysis has determined that, in actual 
time, Dwight D. Eisenhower was standing President. 
Notes: South Dakota granted constitutional suffrage to 
women in 1917, three years prior to the passing of the 
19th Amendment. 


Perceived dates within SCP-1309: May 1922 through 
January 1922 

Description: Strong push for an increase in funding for 
science and education. Many inhabitants claimed it might 
be possible to get to the moon by 1934. 

Note: No known catalyst. Analysis of available records 
have determined that this movement persisted for two 
full cycles, approximately 16 years. 


Perceived dates within SCP-1309: March 1925 through 
December 1927 

Description: Large movement favoring the legality of 
homosexual marriage. Population as a whole appeared 
to be more open to homosexuality. 

Notes: The catalyst for this movement appears to have 
been a romance between two well-known male 
inhabitants of SCP-1309. Both men are now deceased. 


Perceived dates within SCP-1309: April 1925 through 
September 1924 

Description: A majority of the inhabitants of SCP-1309 
began outing and ostracizing homosexuals within the 
town. Protests are held demanding that homosexuality 
be "purged from our town." 

Notes: It is currently unknown whether this event took 
place before or after the population's push for marriage 
equality.

SCP-1310: Examination Room 10 


Item #: SCP-1310 
Object Class: Euclid 


Special Containment Procedures: The building containing 
SCP-1310 has been designated Site. It is to have the appearance 
of being condemned and awaiting demolition. The door leading to 
SCP-1310 is to be opened for at least 20 out of 24 hours per day, in 
order to minimize possibility of generation events. All specimens 
emerging from SCP-1310 are to be detained for questioning. 
Following the questioning session, all specimens of SCP-1310-A,-B 
and -C are to be treated with protocol England-1310-84. 


Description: SCP-1310 is the designation for examination room 10 
at the former "[REDACTED] Pediatrics" center located on the 
campus of the [REDACTED] Medical Center in , Ohio. 
SCP-1310 has the dimensions of 5m x 3m x 5m. The room is 
designed for simple medical examinations of individuals under 18 
years of age, and is decorated with an animal-themed mural on the 
western wall. It has all the typical apparatuses of a mundane 
medical examination room, such as a case for syringe disposal, a 
sink, a supply of gauze and tongue depressors, and an examination 
table.
