~ Closing Statement describing D-5075’s interaction with the corpse of the reality-bender. |
The Reality-Bender was an unknown reality-bending kid who was killed by his parents, but in his last moments he used his powers to remove his friend's and everyone else's memory of himself in order to remove the trauma of his painful death. This caused his bedroom to achieve anomalous properties leading to the SCP Foundation designating it as SCP-5256.
Biography[]
The reality-bender was a kid possibly 15 years of age living with his religious parents in house in Weehawken, New Jersey. There he became friends with a girl living nearby named Laila Jennings and she would often visit him and interact in his room. However, after his parents discovered their son's reality-bending powers they believed that he was possessed by a demon and so they locked him in his room and enforced the exits. The parents proceeded to try to exorcise him through different methods such as using a book about "ceasing witchcraft", but seeing that none of them worked the parents decided to kill the poor boy in order to "free his spirit". They tried different methods to kill him such as force feeding him poisoned Goldfish crackers, cave crickets, before injecting him with anesthetics and crucifying the boy alive in the corner of his room. In his final moments Laila witnessed the horrible torment he endured and not wanting to let her be traumatized by the sighting he used his powers to give his body antimemetic properties in order to remove his existence from everyone's memory. Following his death the room he was in became imprinted with his mental stress and became severely distorted, causing the parents to flee in confusion.
When a clueless Laila reported the anomaly plaguing the room to the police, the SCP Foundation intercepted the call and proceeded to contain the room and designated it SCP-5256. Because of the antimemetic properties, the Foundation was unable to discover what had happened and nor were they able to identify the boy's corpse. They eventually decided to D-5075 to interact with the corner of the room where the corpse resided and although she was unable to see it and could his body and the nails which were used to crucify him. After interviewing and administering amnestics to the questioned people and the Foundation began going after the parents who had fled the house and their current location was unknown.
