Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in an opaque locked box in the vault at Site-19. SCP-XXXX is not to be seen by any personnel. Use of SCP-XXXX is forbidden and any personnel found to have used SCP-XXXX will be either terminated in the later stages of the effect or ministered a Class-B amnestic if the effect has not reached its full potency.
Description: SCP-XXXX has the appearance of an ordinary pillow. Direct observation of the item causes the subject to experience extreme feelings of fatigue and a strong desire to sleep on it. When the object is slept on, the subject is afflicted with vivid night terrors and has periodic bouts of fit-like movement during sleep. Upon waking the subject shows signs of near crippling paranoia and approximately 4 hours after waking the subject will have visual and auditory hallucinations of the entities from the night terrors. Multiple tests conclude that the entities seen by all subjects is the same entity, hereby called SCP-XXXX-1. At an indeterminate point the subject will perceive all humans within their line of sight as an instance of SCP-XXXX-1.
Prolonged exposure to SCP-XXXX-1 will cause insanity in the subject who will eventually believe themselves to be the only human left. This produces varied responses from the subjects ranging from violence toward any perceived instance of SCP-XXXX-1 to suicide.
The foundation first became aware of SCP-XXXX when there was a string of unprecedented crime in [Redacted], Michigan. Foundation personnel were able to trace the source of unusual activity to a small, family owned mattress store. Sales staff welcomed the foundation personnel and offered them a free 15 minute trial nap on any mattress they wished. Foundation personnel declined and proceeded to provide fabricated credentials for [Redacted] then asked the staff if they could observe the store for a day. The staff of the store was accommodating to foundation personnel, even offering them something to drink.
Foundation personnel witnessed a civilian sleep on SCP-XXXX then wake up seemingly rattled. More personnel was dispatched to follow the civilian. Within 4 hours the civilian began to act in a state of intense fear when in the presence of another human being. The subject eventually began to loot random stores in the area while shooting at any human they saw. The civilian was apprehended by foundation personnel and the town was ministered Class-A amnestics.
