Dr. C████████: Good evening, POI-3544-01.

POI-3544-01: Look, you said if I did this interview you'd make me forget what happened, right? Let's just get on with it.

Dr. C████████: Alright then. Could you please recount the events that occurred on the morning of █/██/2018?

POI-3544-01: Yeah, I-

[POI-3544-01 shudders violently for a brief moment, before regaining composure]

POI-3544-01: I was asleep with my boyfriend, Tom, when this feeling came over me. A feeling that I was being watched. I opened my eyes to see those… things watching over us.

Dr. C████████: By things, do you mean SCP-3544-01?

POI-3544-01: The shadow people, if that's what you call 'em yeah. They were just standing there, around the bed. I looked over and saw Tom sitting up too, but when he turned to look at me, one of 'em stepped forward and… it just took over him.

Dr. C████████: Were you able to discern any identifying features of this entity?

POI-3544-01: No, they all looked the same. Just like black silhouettes, not even faces. I could tell they were staring at me though - I could feel it.

[POI-3544-01 goes silent for 58 seconds]

Dr. C████████: Please continue with your report, POI-3544-01.

POI-3544-01: Right… so that was when Tom started to reach for the baseball bat under our bed. He was shouting too, something like "Fuck I can't stop myself". I didn't really have time for it to click before he swung the bat at me, at my leg.

[POI-3544-01 briefly touches the cast on her left leg.]

POI-3544-01: It clicked then though, and I screamed and threw myself out of the bed. I limped to the front door but I couldn't open it. It was stuck no matter how much I pulled. Tom was behind me, screaming for me to run but I couldn't. I begged him to stop but he kept saying he wasn't doing it, and begged me to shoot him. Tom was a big-time second amendment believer, so he'd taught me how to handle a gun. I crawled over to our coffee table, grabbed the gun underneath and fired. The first shot hit him in the shoulder. He screamed in pain but kept coming, so I pointed at his head, closed my eyes and fired until I had nothing left. The screaming stopped, but when I opened my eyes he was still standing there, half his face gone, his left eye hanging out of his socket…

[POI-3544-01 begins to sob, before quickly shaking her head.]

Dr. C████████: We can continue this interview later if you need.

POI-3544-01: No, I just want this over with already. He, or it, tied me up next - used a necktie to hang me from a roof beam. It got a knife from the kitchen and… things get a little fuzzy from there. I thought I was going to die, I could see my blood on the floor. There was so much, and it just wouldn't stop coming out. I remember feeling something around the left side of my chest at one point, right before I lost consciousness, like a hand scraping inside, and a chorus of voices whispering "empty". That's all I can remember, though.

Dr. C████████: Very well. Thank you for your time, POI-3544-01.
