You were probably expecting something a bit different: An SCP designation, an object class, a containment procedure, a description. All the trappings you've come to know from your favorite collaborative fiction website.

Don't worry, we'll get to that.

For now, consider this an interruption of your regularly scheduled programming.

I'm pretty easy to scare. Turn the lights off, make a loud noise, tap me on the shoulder when I'm not expecting it, and my heart will skip a beat.

Jumpscares and haunted houses? Forget about it! I'm wrenching my eyes shut and clamping on to my closest acquaintance.

I'm a coward and a scaredy cat, it's true.

But as much of a reader as I am, I can't say that the written word has ever scared me. Not truly.

No fiction has, anyway.

So consider the following non-fiction.
It certainly is, as far as I'm concerned.
There are no ghosts or ghouls or goblins here,
You can't dispel these monsters by turning off your screen
And as much as you run from them you can never escape.

So stop your running, set your escapism aside, and listen to what really scares us.
