alright, the time has come.
i worked for the SCP foundation and she was a captured anomaly that i was recently placed in charge of observing. the length of her face from the base of her chin to the top of her head was well over 10ft, and the length of her body had to be 30ft at least. she had no legs, only an axolotl type tail and a thick but stumpy looking body compared to the width of her, which was nearly as big around as her face. she did however have arms but they were short. her upper arms were fused to her sides while anything below the elbow could move with limitations. her hands looked to have the skeletal structure for all five fingers, but her pinky, ring finger, and middle finger were completely fused, while her index was fused up to one knuckle while the end could move aside barely. her thumb was unusually short. her hair was long and always looked oily, and her hair grew from her forehead, down her neck, and to between her shoulders like a horses mane.
her containment was a large, deep pool that was just wide/deep enough to keep her fully submerged, but with no room to really swim. her behavior not unlike an eel tucked into coral, just waiting and floating just under the surface. the lights had to be kept dim to avoid agitating her, as it was believed she could not see well in the dark and not being able to see the people observing her made us less likely to trigger her prey drive. we would observe her from metal catwalks that stretched over her pool or from small shed/rooms stationed throughout the warehouse type building she was contained in.
she would be there, just below the surface in the dim red light, staring up. her mouth would open, then close, then open again. like a fish. we were not allowed to walk anywhere but the catwalks and raised platforms around the pool, as walking directly on the floor would allow her to feel our movement through the water.
at one point, the person next to me on the catwalk dropped their pen and the moment almost felt like time slowed. we watched in horror as the pen landed in the water and sent ripples across the surface, distorting her face and reflecting the red lights in a way that briefly blocked her from our vision. when the water settled, her mouth was closed but her eyes where facing directly up at us.
her deformed hands emerged from the water, drops cascading from the massive limbs as they reached up to curl around the ledge of the pool. we didnt even know she could do that, as the way her arms were fused to her body, we believed the pools ledge was too high for her to grab. but she did. she pulled herself out and dragged her massive form across the floor, knocking down support beams which caught on wires and snapped them on their way down.
the guy who dropped the pen ran to set off the alarms just as one of the falling platforms slammed into the main wall light and shattered it. the room went completely dark and i watched with every flash of the emergency light as she pulled herself towards my injured or terrified coworkers who had fallen from the platforms she knocked down, and ate them. she was so busy consuming that she hardly took the time to swallow until her mouth was full, so you could see parts of people caught in her teeth as blood dripped down her chin and congealed and clotted against her skin.
eventually she knocked down the platform i was on and i remember running in circles for what felt like hours. dodging her, only able to run from one wall of the facility to the other as the alarm had put the containment area into lockdown to avoid a breach. i ran and jumped over fallen beams and sparking wires until my legs and lungs burned. until i was so exhausted i could not bring myself to move even as i watched her slowly drag herself closer. she was slow enough i had so much time to move, but i couldn't. i leaned back against the wall, legs shaking and barely keeping me standing as she pulled her way closer, opening her jaws wider with every inch she claimed. her jaws opened to 180 degrees and her head turned unnaturally to the side so that her jaws were to my left and right. her teeth sank into the metal wall around me to either side and all i could do was shut my eyes tight and listen to the metal pop and groan as she bit through it with me trapped in the middle.
i started to feel the metal and her teeth press into my sides, not sharp enough to cut. they were dull. they were crushing. my ribs audibly cracked and i felt the air leave my lunge without me taking a breath, and then i woke up.
