Item #: SCP-5354

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-5354 is to be contained in a high security storage vault located in site [REDACTED].

Testing of SCP-5354 is only to be carried out with approval of no less than 2 personal with level 2 clearance or higher following Incident 9354-2.

Testing must be suspended after a maximum time of 10 minutes in order to prevent the build up of SCP-9394's anomalous property.

Description:

SCP-5354 is a framed 8 by 10 inch photograph of a family riding the [REDACTED] roller coaster located in [REDACTED], USA. The photograph features a boy and a girl in the front of the vehicle with a man and a woman present in the back. While having been in the foundation's possession for 11 12 years, the photograph is still in pristine condition with no signs of dust or decay present on either the photo or the frame.

SCP-5354's anomalous property only takes effect whenever SCP-5354 is removed from it's frame. If SCP-5354 is taken out of the frame for any longer than 2.5 2 minutes the photo will change from the person in the figure with the closest age and gender to the person who has taken SCP-5354 out of the frame. This change lasts from 5 to 12 seconds with the previous person leaving the frame by fading out before the new person fading into the vacant position.

It should be noted that SCP-5354 does not work on animals.

If SCP-5354 stays out of its frame for longer than 3 minutes the recipiant (Hereby refered to as SCP-5354-1 for as long as SCP-5354 stays out of its frame) begins to recall riding the [REDACTED] with the people also included in the photo despite not having known or even seen them at any point up until now. The longer SCP-5354 stays out of its frame the more vivid the memories of SCP-5354 become this effect increases until SCP-5354 is returned to it's frame regardless if SCP 5354-1 is still holding SCP-5354 or not. After approximately 11 minutes SCP-5354-1 appears to question their location and display no recollection of anything more recent than 48 hours of having seperated SCP-5354 from it's frame.

All effects revert completely once SCP-5354 is returned to it's frame with the exeption of SCP-5354-1 being included in the photograph in place of their predecessor.

Since recovery, SCP-5354 has undergone the change in:

-52 Males
-40 Females
-4 Boys
-4 Girls

Anomalous properties persist in all cases.

Incident 5354-2:

SCP-5354 was removed from it's frame and held by 2 people at the same time, this created two instances of SCP-5354-1. Instead of the photograph replacing the predecessor with an instance of SCP-5354-1, SCP 5354-1 appeared to emit a low amount of heat
