Page Type: SCP Article
Genre: Emotional
Page Layout: Standard format, Observation log.
Elevator Pitch:
• A Foundation-operated satellite notices an extremely large monument in the middle of the Sonoran desert, a field team locates it and reports it to be the Daytona International Speedway, normally located in Daytona Beach, FL. It's an exact carbon-copy of Daytona as it was on February 15th, 1998.
• Observation by helicopter reveals it to be in-use, though all of the vehicles are anomalously driven without operator, one man sits in the grandstands alone. Earnhardt's number 3 car always wins, and the man always celebrates.
• Where it would usually read: "Daytona International Speedway" it now reads: "Operated by Angelpoint International"
• A front-company made by Angelpoint is located and raided by Foundation agents, most of the customer receipts in the building are disposed of, but of the few hundred that remain is the Speedway.
• Turns out it was a gift from son to late-father as an apology for his abandonment of the father.
• Observation logs begin to record changes to the routine of the Speedway, Eventually, on the last observation entry a young man walks into the stadium and sits next to the father. A month later the Speedway disappears and the article is reassigned to neutralized.
Central Narrative: Foundation discovers an anomalous version of Daytona Speedway in Arizona, investigates and eventually finds the company that created it, learns that it's part of an apology letter from someone's offspring, and eventually watches it dissapear as the son is forgiven.
Hook/Attention-Grabber: An empathetic mortuary service, a spiteful son, and a father's love for NASCAR come together to make a painful article that attempts to pull in the reader with it's strange mix of concepts. Who wouldn't see the words "anomalous mortuary", "1:1 copy of Daytona International Speedway in Arizona", and "daddy issues" and take a second look?
The name of the article's game is using a wacky premise to subvert expectations and deliver a stock-standard trope in a strange light that hits a little different than usual.
Additional Notes: I think the story might be pretty weak, and any help regarding that would be super appreciated cuz I don't know if the wackyness of the concept can pull as much weight as I want it to.
