Item #: SCP-5144
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5144 is to be contained on █████ Street, in the small town of [DATA EXPUNGED]. SCP-5144 is to be monitored by five personnel disguised as security and up to fifteen random D-Class to function as staff. All D-Class subjected to become staff are to have high sensitivity to the paranormal. When the specified D-Class personnel are enlisted to work, they must be evenly split between night and day shifts.
If a D-Class personnel talks to a civilian about any paranormal activity both the D-Class and the civilian in question are to be given Class-A amnestics and the D-Class is to be terminated and replaced immediately with another similar looking D-Class.
During the time frame of 6 A.M to 8 P.M, SCP-5144 is to function like a normal super market regardless of any anomalous effects taking place during the specified time frame. All D-Class stationed after 8 P.M are to remain there until 6 A.M the next morning. Any anomalous beings or effects witnessed are to be reported to scientific personnel or an interviewer when the D-Class are rotated out.
Description: SCP-5144 has the appearance of a typical grocery store, complete with all the necessary accommodations. Which include a Deli, Produce section, a small dairy section, ten aisles, and three cash out lanes. The building measures close to 3940.48 square meters in size. Yet its actual dimensions seem to fluctuate the smallest it has gone is 962.10 square meters in size.
What makes the anomaly so interesting is the inclusion of paper thin translucent barriers measuring as large as 0.010668 kilometers to as small as 0.0036576 kilometers. The barriers unless seen have been proven to have no drastic anomalous effects on the person or persons that walk through them casually. The anomalous effect only happens when one is experiencing a heightened state of fear. When someone goes through the barriers experiencing active amygdala activity, odd humanoids of all sizes and shapes are seen.
Currently there are several known entities within SCP-5144. SCP-5144-1 has the appearance of a grey skinned girl within her early teens. SCP-5144-1 is 1.6 meters in height and has pitch black hair reminiscent of the color Black 3.0. SCP-5144-1 is typically seen within the Deli or produce compartment of SCP-5144 and is known to get attached to one random D-Class personnel through the night. If SCP-5144-1 is seen outside of their known area, during store hours, they are to be guided back to the Deli or Produce section discreetly by one of the scientific personnel disguised security guards.
SCP-5144-2 is a large red skinned male measuring 2.9 meters tall, and is known to be hostile to any civilians that enter during closing hours. SCP-5144-2 is dressed as a security guard from the time decade of the 1950s. SCP-5144-2 seems to be present even at SCP-5144s smallest dimensions. SCP-5144-2 is sometimes seen carrying SCP-5144-1 on its shoulders when SCP-5144 shrinks.
SCP-5144-3 is the only known anomaly that originates from outside of SCP-5144. SCP-5144-3 is a humanoid of Caucasian descent. SCP-5144-3 measures approximately 1.3 to 1.5 meters tall. SCP-5144-3 wears a blue costume resembling a Jiangshi. SCP-5144-3 displays typical human traits when its eyes are closed. SCP-5144-3 seems to be aware of the SCP Foundation, as well as several other more hostile anomalies within SCP-5144.

Addendum #2:
Interviewed: SCP-5144-2
Interviewer: Dr. █████
Foreword: Interview of SCP-5144-2 questioning what its job is and what SCP-5144 is.
**<Begin Log, _10:38 P.M._>*
Dr. █████: SCP-5144-2, i have some questions for you, about yourself, and SCP-5144.
SCP-5144-2: in a gruff voice Very well. Ask away. I'll answer honestly.
Dr. █████: First lets get this out of the way, what is SCP-5144?
SCP-5144-2: A store front to harvest humans. At least that is what it was when i was hired originally.
Dr. █████: I see. What caused the sudden change to make 5144 a place where humans can shop?
SCP-5144-2: Look. That ain't my place ta answer. Upper management has those answers. Any other questions?
Dr. █████: Yes. Why are you not hostile to us, but hostile to say a random civilian?
SCP-5144-2: You guys came in here, helped make our place known better. Management thanks ya for that. As fer your second question, i don't like it when people from the outside trample on my turf. For all i know the could harm any one of us. My job is currently to protect your people and my people. All others that come in.. are just casualties.
Dr. █████: I see. Two more questions then we can end the interview.
SCP-5144-2: Good. It's bout time for my break.
Dr. █████: First question what is your relationship with SCP-5144-1?
SCP-5144-2: Oh? Grinny? She's like a daughter ta me. So i'm tryin to fill in that father role she missed out on.
Dr. █████: Alright. Dr.█████ scribbles something into his notepad before he continues Second question. How do we contact management?
SCP-5144-2: SCP-5144-2 lets out a gruff laugh originating from deep down within his stomach Ya don't contact them. They'll contact you. Dunno if ya noticed, but there's some old rotary phones, if one of 'em rings, answer it, it's management calling to speak with you.
Dr. █████: Thank you for your time SCP-5144-2. You may head on your break.
<End Log, 12:45 P.M>
Closing Statement: SCP-5144-2, seem to give off a gruff exterior to protect SCP-5144-1, but noticeably softens in expression when SCP-5144-1 is talked about. All D-Class working night shift, must be updated about possible contact from the management. If they are contacted, the must get me so an interview can happen.
Incident Report:
An incident occurred at 5:30, half an hour before D-Class 51332 was to be switched out with another similar looking D-Class. SCP-5144-1 seems to have abducted D-Class 51332, with no reason as to why. SCP-5144-1 will not return D-Class 51332. D-Class 51332 is to be considered SCP-5144-4 if seen by any personnel or D-Class.
Addendum #3
It has come to O5's attention that management has been contacting multiple D-Class personnel every night for the past eighteen shifts starting from 1/██/2020 to 1/██/2020. O5 has dictated that D-Class are to go and report to Dr.█████ effective immediately or risk permanent termination.
O5 has also ruled that Dr.█████ is no longer to conduct interviews with SCP-5144-1 as Dr.█████ is getting to attached to SCP-5144-1. The subsequent interview numbered three to five has been removed from this article as per O5 instructions.
SCP-5144-1 is to be put under more extensive monitoring as it is appearing more frequently during opening shifts between 6 A.M to 3 P.M. If Dr.█████ continues to try and interview SCP-5144-1 he is to be immediately replaced by Dr.███████. Due to current outside concerns SCP-5144 is to not allow any civilian other then SCP-5144-3 inside.
