SCP-014

Item #: SCP-014
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-014 is to be 
kept in Site-██, in a chair with arms, preferably facing a window. Music
 should be supplied on a regular basis, preferably constantly. This 
music should not include pieces originating after 1937. A security 
camera should be present in SCP-014's room.
Description: SCP-014 is a Caucasian male, appearing 
to be approximately 30 years of age, with black hair, brown eyes, and a 
somewhat round face. Records indicate his name to be Robert Chetford, 
confined in 1915 to the Norwich Asylum in Connecticut for delusional 
insanity, claiming that he had been cursed to live forever, and was 
slowly turning into concrete in consequence. The asylum closed in 1937, 
and the patients were transferred to various other facilities. SCP-014 
came to Foundation attention in 19██, from rumours of a patient who 
seemed to be entirely immobile and showed no signs of aging. Further 
investigation determined that acquisition was warranted.
SCP-014 is to all outward appearances a normal man, but he does not 
appear to age, and shows no signs of possessing a metabolism. He does 
not eat, drink, perspire, or in any other way demonstrate life 
functions. He breathes only to speak, and apart from his eyes and vocal 
apparatus, is to all appearances utterly immobile. He has never shown 
any evidence of pressure ulcers despite his position not having varied 
for several decades; neither do his muscles appear atrophied. He can 
converse normally, but shows little knowledge of or interest in events 
since his confinement.
Addendum:
Note: Frankly, were I to interview this man without knowing his 
history, I'd think he was a perfectly sane and well-adjusted individual 
who happens to be quadriplegic. As it is, I have to conclude that he's 
the ultimate proof of the idea that the mind rules the body. He thinks 
he's concrete, and will live forever, and so he's as close to both as he
 can be. Somehow. Dr. █████
