Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Keter
Special Containment Procedures: Instances of SCP-XXXX are to be suppressed from the media. Agents embedded into police stations are to monitor murder investigations.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a ritualized murder. Instances are only known to target middle-class, traditional nuclear families in moderately populated areas. Every SCP-XXXX emergence will follow the steps below:
1. The father of the household will begin consuming more digital content on any of the major social media platforms.
2. He will undergo a spiritual awakening, not tied to any specific religion.
3. He will purchase or begin practicing with an already owned firearm.
4. He will murder his family and commit suicide.
5. A cryptic letter, written in red ink, will appear.
Step five is fundamental to recognizing an SCP-XXXX case, as it will appear during any investigations into the murder. An SCP-XXXX letter has been attached below.
For he is coming
For he will rise
For a darkness
Clouds the skies
For I have seen
The beast that lies
And coveted its reign
Across the shrines
For my service
He will give
His words splayed
Across my forehead
