Description: SCP-4081 is a Hentschel Brand grandfather clock that was found in ████, Germany in the town of ██████ where it was discovered when the house that SCP-4081 was originally located caught fire, killing everyone inside. The clock however, wasn't effected by the flames. The anomalous abilities are counting down to a disaster. The clock can predict the future and the hand moves as long it takes for the disaster to happen. When one person views SCP-4081 within 3 meters, a new hand appearing in the viewer's favorite color. Unlike the disaster countdown, the clock makes everything the viewer do attempt to kill the viewer through unknown abilities [See Test Log #1].
