SCP50004

SCP50004 is an anomalous object designated as a simple, unadorned wooden chair. The chair's anomalous properties manifest when a sapient being sits upon it. Upon doing so, the individual experiences a profound and inexplicable sense of existential dread, accompanied by the overwhelming conviction that their existence is inherently meaningless. This feeling is not accompanied by any visual or auditory hallucinations. Subjects describe a deep, internal certainty of pointlessness that permeates their thoughts and emotions.

The duration of this effect varies, typically lasting between 30 minutes and 2 hours. During this period, individuals are often rendered incapacitated by their despair, unable to perform complex tasks or engage in meaningful conversation. Upon the cessation of the effect, subjects report a return to their normal mental state, with no lasting psychological trauma. However, they often retain a faint, unsettling memory of the experience.

Attempts to study the chair further have been limited. Its origin and method of operation remain unknown. Mobile Task Forces have secured SCP50004 and it is currently contained within a standard containment locker. Further research is ongoing to determine the precise mechanism behind its anomalous properties and to assess any potential long-term effects. It is advised that personnel interacting with SCP50004 do so with caution and are monitored for any adverse psychological reactions.
