SCP Foundation/SCPs/SCP-F-220

Item #: SCP-F-220
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: The unusual physiology of SCP-F-220 is to be explained as an advanced form of Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome. Complete suppression of information was not possible as SCP-F-220 was already well known when the case came to the Foundation's attention. Original containment procedures for SCP-F-220 have been suspended following the subject's death on █/██/2003. The cadaver has been exhumed, replaced with a replica and transferred to the Site-██ morgue for research purposes.
SCP-F-220-1 is to be stored in a secure storage locker at Site-██ when not in use. Personnel wishing to experiment with SCP-F-220-1 may contact Dr. Sarah Powell for the access code.
Description: SCP-F-220 was a Caucasian male whose anomalous properties caused him to age backwards. The subject was known as Benjamin Button by all accounts, although no official birth records are believed to exist. At the time of discovery by the Foundation, SCP-F-220 was chronologically three (3) years of age but possessed a physical appearance of a man in his eighties. The subject exhibited no mental deficiencies and was otherwise identical to a normal human male. DNA testing has shown no abnormalities.
SCP-F-220-1 is a backwards-running clock that was originally installed at New Orleans Union Station, the present-day New Orleans Union Passenger Terminal. According to municipal records, the city of New Orleans contracted ██████ Gateau to build the clock for $███ USD. Gateau claimed he designed the clock to run backwards as a symbol of his hope to bring back his late son, who was killed in action in World War I.
Addendum F-220-1: Research indicates that SCP-F-220 was born around the same time SCP-F-220-1 was installed. Foundation assets subsequently seized the clock and replaced it with a replica under the guise of repairs. Interviews with Gateau were not possible as he died before Foundation personnel could locate him.
Addendum F-220-2: Experiments involving SCP-F-220-1 have not resulted in any additional anomalous births to date. Reclassification to Neutralized is under consideration.
