While | understand Dr. Marquez’s concern and genuine 
belief that we could permanently contain SCP-2588, | will 
remind the doctor that the original SCP-2588 was a 
noted career criminal and a diagnosed patient dealing 


with antisocial personality disorder. In layman’s terms, 
SCP-2588 was a psychopathic serial killer who also 
murdered no fewer than 8 Foundation agents during its 
initial containment. There is nothing that suggests to me 
that SCP-2588 would keep its word in promising self- 
termination. 


The ethical conundrum here is, in the opinion of the O5 
Council, secondary to the risks that enabling the choices 
of an anomaly would entail. Request denied.

SCP-2589: Don't Leave Me This Way 


Item #: SCP-2589 
Object Class: Neutralized 


Special Containment Procedures: The home SCP-2589 was 
previously located in has been dismantled and incinerated. The area 
the home was located on has been barred from entry, and has been 
disguised as an enclosed electrical generator. Witnesses of 
SCP-2589 have been administered Class A amnestics. Those who 
have not been located are currently being tracked by Foundation 
assets, after they are located they are to be administered an 
amnestic regimen and released. 


Description: SCP-2589 was an entity that was confined to a mobile 
home in Warsaw, Indiana. The entity had limited mobility, lacking 
limbs. Its body was bell-shaped, consisting of a large mouth in the 
torso, and an elongated, upward-facing head on which there was a 
Warsaw Police Department branded trucker cap. The entity's body 
was white with red splotches, having the appearance of bruises. 
SCP-2589's body did not appear to have an internal structure, the 
skin simply forming a floating membrane in the shape of itself. 


The entity was capable of manipulating the physical reality of the 
area around it. SCP-2589 utilized this ability to create "mouth traps" 
in areas which lead to its stomach. These spaces manifested as 
spaces in walls, enclosures of any kind such as a doghouse, 
closets, and in one case a pair of pants. These portals have a 
tendency to manifest most commonly in holes. Subjects affected by 
SCP-2589 claimed they most commonly fell into the trap when 
walking through the master bedroom of the home. 


The entity would "eat" humans or animals if it was fed. SCP-2589 
did not seem to be sapient, and did not actively attempt to consume 
subjects with its person. SCP-2589 only physically consumed an 
individual if it was assisted. 


The effects of this consumption were varied. Affected subjects would 
reappear later, albeit with mild or moderate changes to their 
appearance. Their behavior was not unusual, and they retained 
memories of being fed to SCP-2589. Subjects frequently responded 
to this event with frustration or misdirection. A woman subjected to 
SCP-2589 prior to its containment was digested roughly 100 times. 
When questioned, Emma Clark (23) seemed frustrated, to quote, “I 
don’t see what the problem is.” 


When SCP-2589 inhabited the home, the people living in that home 
expressed dismissal or disinterest in SCP-2589. Adolescents, 
however, did not seem to be affected by the anomaly and would 
respond to SCP-2589 as one would typically expect. The home 
where SCP-2589 was found, when investigated, revealed that the 
surviving children growing up around SCP-2589 were conditioned to 
accept it from a young age. 


Addendum A: Selected excerpts from video footage located in the 
home. Dates could not be found on the tapes, they are arranged in 
order of occurrence. The home was outfitted with 12 security 
cameras. Local police had questioned the father, Jacob Clark, about 
the cameras at one point prior to SCP-2589’s neutralization, to 
which the father responded “He liked knowing what went on in his 
home." 


The family affected by SCP-2589 were Emma Clark (23), her 
husband, Jacob Clark (47), Jacob Clark's brother, Ethan Young 
(32), the Clark's mother, Madison Clark (67), and two children, 
Andrew (8), Ezekiel (11), and their dog [Destroyer] (2). 


00:03 


Deformed man in fetal position with fused appendages 
appears on the floor in the foyer. Andrew is distressed, 
begins shouting at the man. Andrew is holding a 
miniature boom box. Macho Man is playing on the radio. 


Andrew: (possibly communicating with the deformed 
figure) NO. You're scary! Why? What's wrong with your 
face? Stop it! 


Andrew picks up a broom and moves closer to the man. 
Andrew: Unc? 


SCP-2589 can be seen in the corner of the frame. 
Andrew notices SCP-2589. Andrew observes SCP-2589 
silently for one minute. 


Andrew: Sorry Unc. 


Andrew drags the deformed man out of the room, away 
from SCP-2589. 


11:05 


Andrew notices SCP-25839 in the living room. SCP-2589 
was stationary. Andrew runs to Madison, his 
grandmother, and tells her about SCP-2589. Madison 
gets excited, suggests placing the uncle, Ethan, in its 
mouth. Emma and Jacob enter the room and discuss this 
with Madison. Madison points at Ethan angrily while 
talking to Jacob, Jacob points to SCP-2589 and begins 
shouting. Madison relents, and moves to SCP-2589, 
opening its mouth. Emma and Jacob lift Ethan's body 
into SCP-2589's mouth. 


Audio feed returns. 

Jacob: See? Wasn't too hard was it? 

03:33 

Andrew and Ezekiel are in the back yard. 

Andrew: You know about it? You're never in the room. 


Ezekiel: | saw it. | don't like it. | can get dad's gun, | 
know where he has it. 


Andrew: It's gonna eat me. (crying) Go get the gun 
tonight. 


Ezekiel: I'll do it by myself. It's scared of me because I'm 
really smart. 


Andrew: Really? 
Ezekiel: Yeah. 


Andrew leaves the frame and speaks with his father for a 
moment. Andrew and his father go inside. Ezekiel 
remains outside. 


A green hummingbird appears in the yard. 
Ezekiel addresses the bird. 
Ezekiel: You're the angel?. 


The bird does not appear to acknowledge Ezekiel's' 
presence, and by all accounts is a mundane animal. 


Ezekiel: How do | kill it? 


Ezekiel nods, running into the doghouse. Ezekiel does 
not leave the doghouse. No activity for 2 hours. 


Andrew and Jacob walk outside. Jacob points to the 
doghouse, and Andrew moves closer to inspect it. 
Andrew begins screaming. 


23:02 


Ethan appears in the hallway, no longer deformed, but 
appearance changed slightly. He is dressed in a vest, his 
face covered in glitter. Ethan runs into Madison in the 
hallway. 


Ethan: (whispering) Where were you? You've been gone 
for two weeks, no one's saying shit! 


A low moaning is heard. SCP-2589's head can be seen 


in the frame, bent around a corner behind Madison. 
Ethan and Madison turn around, but otherwise do not 
acknowledge SCP-2589. 


Madison: | went out with the girls. I'm here now, what's 
the problem? 


Ethan shakes his head, Madison leaves the frame, 
toward SCP-2589. SCP-2589's head retracts. Giggling 
can be heard for two minutes afterward. 


10:55 


Entire family, save for Ezekiel, is in the living room. 
SCP-2589 is also present, standing behind the couch. 
Andrew seems distressed about SCP-2589, but attempts 
to maintain composure, occasionally glancing at Jacob. 


Madison: Oh look Andrew is having another fit. 


Jacob, Ethan, and Madison laughing. Emma appears 
reserved, but smiles. Emma gets up and starts caressing 
SCP-2589's lips. 


Emma: Honey, | can take care of myself. 


Jacob gets up from the couch and pushes Emma into 
SCP-2589's mouth. Ethan and Madison laugh. Andrew 
closes his eyes and puts his hands to his ears. 


Jacob: Bye, honey! 
02:00 


Andrew moves down the hallway. Heavy breathing is 
audible on the tape, as well as a barely audible loop of 
Bee Gees Night Fever. The wall next to Andrew begins 
heaving as if it were organic. A small section of the wall 
collapses, revealing a deformed Ezekiel. Ezekiel's body 
appears to have been compressed into a cube. Andrew 
observes the hole, motionless. 


SCP-291: Disassembler/Reassembler 


Item #: SCP-291 
Object Class: Safe 


Special Containment Procedures: SCP-291 must remain 
disconnected from any power source when not in use for testing. A 
team of two personnel should remain on guard outside SCP-291's 
containment room, and will be swapped out weekly. While 
disconnected from a power supply, SCP-291 may be considered 
safe. SCP-291's main entryway closes and locks upon 
disconnection from a power supply, but the door may be opened 
manually from the interior in the event of any personnel being 
trapped. 


All blocks of disassembled organism are to be kept stored ina 
designated storage locker within the containment room, and are to 
be properly labeled with a sharpie marker. Personnel responsible for 
lost or damaged blocks will be moved to other projects. 


Description: SCP-291 was located in [DATA EXPUNGED]. 
SCP-291 resembles a small building in structure, a nearly 
featureless steel box measuring 10.5 m x 30.2 m at the base, and 
15 m tall. On one of the narrow sides, there is a large door (5 m 
wide) that opens upwards, similar to a garage door, composed of 
metal slats a few inches high each. There is no handle on the 
exterior of the door, and while closed, all attempts to open it using 
non-destructive methods have failed. The interior of the door 
features a lock that can be opened manually to lift the door for a few 
seconds, before an unknown mechanism will force it shut again. At 
the other end of SCP-291 is a similar opening with a lock and handle 
on the exterior and interior, allowing the door to be opened from 
either side. Two small, similar hatches only 1 m x 1 m can be found 
to the left of both doors, and may be opened from the exterior. 


The materials that compose SCP-291 do appear to be only as 


Ezekiel: Kill it. 
Andrew continues staring at the hole. 


Addendum B: Local police had been called to the location ten times 
previously on the grounds of domestic disturbances. On 03/12/ 
Deputy Alexis Walker received a private phone call from Andrew 
urging her to go to the location of the home. Alexis had given 
Andrew her phone number on a previous visit. Alexis arrived at the 
location, entering the home without provocation, and discovered 
Jacob Clark in the act of assaulting Ethan Young. 


00:02 
Jacob: What the fuck is going on? 
Alexis: Calm down, sir. 


Jacob: This ain't none of your business, you don't have 
any reason to be here in my fucking home. 


Alexis: Get down on the ground. You can tell them all 
about me breaking into your house. Get down on the 
ground or | swear to god. 


SCP-2589 appears in the frame next to Ethan. 
Jacob: See? It wasn't me, | didn't do- 


Alexis fires at SCP-2589 12 times. Jacob is screaming 
violently. SCP-2589 folds over on itself and falls to the 
ground. 


Alexis: Oh my god, oh my god. Where are the kids? Tell 
me where the fucking kids are- 


Alexis moves to Jacob and notices he has been shot 
multiple times. Alexis looks over to SCP-2589 and 
notices that it is no longer present. 


Alexis pinches herself, and looks around for a few 
moments. 


Alexis is seen leaving the area with Andrew and Ezekiel. 
She is followed by Ethan and Madison out of the house. 
The two shout at Alexis while the vehicle drives away. 


Alexis, Andrew, or Ezekiel could not be located afterward. Records 
have been scrubbed from local law enforcement agencies and kept 
on the Foundation's private record in line with current disinformation 
protocol. No anomalous activity has been detected in the house to 
date.

SCP-2590: Trailer Trash 


Item #: SCP-2590 
Object Class: Keter 


Special Containment Procedures: Containment of SCP-2590 itself 
is not currently possible. SCP-2590 has remained within the city 
limits of Birmingham, Alabama since it has been under Foundation 
surveillance. SCP-2590 is fitted with a tracking beacon pinging its 
location to specialized handheld devices, which are provided to all 
operatives of MTF Gamma-133 "Street Sweepers". 


Public knowledge of SCP-2590's existence is to be contained by 
confiscation of video footage and photographs, and administration of 
Class-A amnestics to eyewitnesses. Two plain clothed members of 
Mobile Task Force Gamma-133 "Street Sweepers" are to trail 
SCP-2590 in a Foundation-provided civilian vehicle at all times, 
exchanging shifts with another pair of operators every 4 hours. 
Vehicles are to be equipped with dashboard video cameras, which 
are to be recording at all times. 


In the event SCP-2590 pulls over to the side of the road or ina 
parking lot, the pursuing operatives are to park directly behind 
SCP-2590 with a full view of the trailer door and notify the active 
situation room commander of MTF Gamma-133 "Street Sweepers" 
immediately. The operative occupying the passenger's side of the 
vehicle is to take written notes of his/her observations. Under no 
circumstances are personnel to approach SCP-2590-1. 


Description: SCP-2590 is a semi-trailer truck of an International 
ProStar DayCab make, with an attached trailer. It lacks a license 
plate on either the front or rear bumper. The model's manufacturer, 
Navistar International, claims to have no knowledge of ever 
producing a vehicle like SCP-2590. Observation of the driver's cabin 
shows a humanoid figure in the driver's seat, designated 
SCP-2590-1. SCP-2590-1's appearance is that of a shadow or 


silhouette, lacking any identifying physical features. SCP-2590-1's 
significance to the function of SCP-2590 is currently unknown, 
however, it has been proven to have an amnestic-like effect on 
humans approaching it on foot. Because of this, Foundation 
personnel have been unable to question it. 


SCP-2590 selectively interacts with tangible objects, allowing it to 
‘pass through’ physical matter. For this reason, the Foundation has 
been unable to physically contain it. This was discovered when 
SCP-2590 passed through a Foundation roadblock unhindered. It 
has also, on occasion, avoided collisions this way. SCP-2590 has 
not refuelled since it came under Foundation monitoring, nor has it 
broken any traffic laws. 


At times determined by unknown variables!, SCP-2590 will park at 
the side of the road or in a parking lot, and the trailer door will open 
of its own accord for exactly sixty seconds before closing again. 
During the time the door is open, the trailer will be occupied by a 
single object. The object within the trailer is different each time the 
door closes and opens again. Each instance is unique, and no 
object has ever been observed twice. 


Attempts at entry or exit from SCP-2590 while the trailer is open 
have been met with failure, due to an invisible barrier. The barrier 
also seems to stop sound from escaping. 


+ List of SCP-2590 objects 


Presented in chronological order are objects observed 
inside SCP-2590 since it came under Foundation 
surveillance on 25/03/2007: 


#1 Chocolate candy bar, Kit

model. 

Human male, approximately 
30 years of age. During 
observation the subject 
showed considerable 
distress, attempting several 
times to escape SCP-2590. 
All escape attempts failed 
due to the barrier, and the 
door closed before further 
measures Couid be taken. 
Red appie. 

Large silver sphere, with no 
features or identifying 
marks. The object hovered 
approximately 0.5 metres 
above the floor of the trailer 
by unknown means.
