Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures:

Each component of SCP-XXXX is to be neatly folded into a 15cm by 30cm square, stacked, and contained within a standard anomalous article storage locker secured by no less than 3 locks. Access to SCP-XXXX is restricted to Level 3 researchers and above, and must be sought through a formal written request placed with the Site Director.

Standard Anomalous-Humanoid Containment Cell No. 20041437 has been reserved for use in testing SCP-XXXX. The cell is to be equipped with one queen-sized box frame and headboard, one queen-sized mattress, two pillows, one four-drawer dresser, one nightstand, one lamp fitted with a 100-watt lightbulb, and one crescent-moon shaped night light. Cell No. 024437 is to be included in the site’s regular custodian and maintenance rounds, and is to be cleaned not less than twice weekly.

When conducting testing, SCP-XXXX is to be installed evenly onto the mattress using hospital-corners. The pillowcases, once installed upon the pillows, are to be placed upon the bed so that their open ends face inward towards one other. The flat sheet and blanket are to be folded down so that there is at least a 20 cm gap between their top and the pillows.

Upon the appearance of an instance of SCP-XXXX-1, the closest adult human to the bed upon which SCP-XXXX is installed is to accept SCP-XXXX-2, sit upon the foot of the bed, and vocalize one original story for a period of no less than five minutes.

EDIT:
Standard Anomalous-Humanoid Containment Cell No. 2041435 is to be reserved as living quarters for D-79234, and is to be outfitted with normal Class-C amenities. D-79234 is to be confined to his quarters unless accompanied by at least two Class-C personnel. No testing involving SCP-XXXX is to be conducted unless D-79234 is present.

An assortment of 5 stuffed animals or similar plush toys are to be kept on hand during any testing involving SCP-XXXX.

Description:
SCP-XXXX is a set of queen-sized bedsheets comprising one light blue linen fitted-sheet, one light blue single-ply linen flat sheet, two blue and yellow striped linen pillowcases, and one dark blue and green flannel comforter. No tags or manufacturer’s markings are present on any component of SCP-XXXX.

When SCP-XXXX is properly installed upon a bed, the space between the fitted and flat sheets will extend a significant distance beyond the foot of the bed, reaching into an unknown space. Attempts to explore the space beyond the foot of the bed have revealed that the two sheets extend on in all directions. 230m beyond the foot of the bed the sheets have been observed to take on a slightly fleshy coloration, with visible freckles, hairs, and pores appearing upon their surfaces. At 300m the surfaces become observably moist, and a faint heartbeat has been reported by explorers. At a distance of 450m, the space has been recorded to reach temperatures of 60 degrees C and a humidity of up to 89 percent. Beyond this point, the pressure exerted by the top sheet has been measured at over 30,000 psi. At this time, no end point in the gap between the sheets has been located.

When a human over 20 years of age approaches the bed which SCP-XXXX has been properly installed upon, an entity (designated SCP-XXXX-1) will emerge from the space between the sheets and lay in the bed. The appearance of SCP-XXXX-1 varies depending upon the closest adult human present when it emerges, but tends to manifest as a large, vaguely humanoid mass of human skin, hair, muscle tissue, viscera, cancerous growths, and teeth. SCP-XXXX-1 generally appears roughly the mass as a human child between the ages of 7 to 10 years old, but has been observed manifesting much larger. SCP-XXXX-1’s form seems to be tied to the adult human who is standing closest to the bed which SCP-XXXX is installed upon at the time of its emergence, with repeated tests using the same human subject showing SCP-XXXX-1 taking on similar forms over multiple appearances.

Upon emerging, SCP-XXXX-1 will turn to the nearest adult human and present to them with a 17cm by 25cm book made from human skin, sinew, and nail (designated SCP-XXXX-2). Each instance of SCP-XXXX-2 is unique, and ranges from 10 to 15 pages in length. Each page of a SCP-XXXX-2 instance will be stained with a combination of blood, mucous, and fecal matter. To date, no discernable pattern has been observed in these stains.

After a short period of activity, SCP-XXXX-1 will recede back under the sheets of SCP-XXXX. No observed period of activity has exceeded four hours in length.
