Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained in a box in a storage room of Site-19. The book does not need to be watched, but any personnel at the site who wish to read the book require Level 2 access or more.

Any files regarding the book need to be reviewed three times over, and potentially deleted, to make sure that said files don't have any information that can be misinterpreted or that may distract Foundation personnel.

Description: Once upon a time, in a facility not so far away, a special book with special properties, anomalous properties, is stored, locked away from public view. Due to the book's special properties, it doesn't have a definite description. The only consistent part of the book is its shape. It is so special, in fact, that it has its own little box in such a big facility, free to write itself however it wants to.

When the special book is opened, the reader experiences déjà vu. Some of the readers feel completely bizarre, while many others, perfectly normal. These people, who feel normal, are friends to the book, who, in return, tries to give its friends the best bits of reality. This is because the book doesn't want its friends to suffer from sadness, a potential effect from reading it.

The special book is not like any other because it can foretell an event in the future, one that cannot be avoided, even if one were to try. It wants to be perfect, and will write itself over and over again. Sometimes, the book will become sad, and write in a sad tone. Sometimes, the book will become happy, and will want the reader to be happy too. It all depends on what the book wants to write about, and if the next reader is a friend of the book.

When a person who has read the special book, friend or not, is asked details about the book, the reader will respond by telling every detail in the form of a story. The reader will remember every detail that he or she has read. This is why the book wants to write joyful stories for its friends, to make sure that they can sleep at night with the knowledge they have gained.

If the special book is feeling mischievous, it will mess around with any of the documents that even reference the special book, changing it, or parts of it, to a story, much like the people who read the book.

The special book can foretell the future, but sees no end in sight. Sometimes it wonders about those who read it, their stories, and such. But, despite all the rough drafts the book makes, the book has plans, for, one day, it will finally read how the world will fall, and, if humanity shall be brought back, how it will rebuild.

Discovery: SCP-XXXX was discovered after a rumor that an old lady at ██████ ██ had the uncanny ability to read the future. When nearby Foundation personnel arrived at the location, they discovered that it wasn't the old lady that was looking into the future, but that it was a small book that was actually telling the future. On the ride to Site-19, the book grew in
