Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

A close-up of SCP-XXXX, taken on the desk of it’s original owner, ██████, circa 2███

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be stored in a locker in the Safe-class sector of Site-17. Since the object has been so far, harmless, all Levels have been allowed access the SCP-XXXX. Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are to be written or typed down in text form on paper or digitally within 2 hours of the event.

Description: SCP-XXXX is a circular wooden pocket watch, brand unknown, measuring 5 cm in diameter. The lid of SCP-XXXX is inscribed with the year “17██”. A living being, upon holding SCP-XXXX and opening the lid, will experience an instance of SCP-XXXX-1.

SCP-XXXX-1 is an audio and visual recording of a person or creature’s final living moments prior to death. At first, the user will see only pitch black and hear audio which lasts for approximately 5 seconds. After the audio is finished, a frozen scene of the user’s death moment and the surrounding area, measuring roughly 450 meters in diameter. A noticeable coincidence is that there are always signs to the date of the event, be it in form of simple clocks and calendars, to more intricate hints such as the construction of a building, or the phase of the Moon.

The user can move around the frozen scene, but can not interact with anyone or anything. After roughly a 50 meter distance, the user can no longer move outside of the immediate area around the death, but can still see up to a record of 400m away.

Approximately 1 minute after visuals of the death appear, it disappears and the user is surround by pitch black. After which they are transported back to where they opened SCP-XXXX’s lid, now closed again.

Witnesses said that the user closed their eyes immediately after opening SCP-XXXX’s lid, as if they have suddenly gone to sleep, and their hand closes the lid after they have closed their eyes.

SCP-XXXX was first discovered by Foundation agents when an old, eccentric man by the name of ██████ used it to run a business where he lets people use the watch to know when they’ll pass away. The enterprise was noticed by local news, who broadcasted it on their TV show, as well as their social media accounts. This caught the attention of the Foundation, whose webcrawlers removed all photos and descriptions of SCP-XXXX online, and amnestics were applied to the employees of the media company that showed the event on news, along with the surround area, 3 km in diameter.
