"Guys, I can't be here." said Cain. He is currently standing on solid concrete, away from all the plants. Him, Iris, 079, and Able were outside, in front of a corn maze.
The four SCPs were on a mission to investigate any anomalies on this dark, October night. And lucky them, they stumbled in front of a corn maze.
"OMG! I haven't been in one of these since I was a kid!" Iris squealed and jumped in excitement.
"What's the purpose of these?" asked Able.
Iris grabbed Able's arm and smiled wider. "It's a corn maze! You go in and try to find the exit! Sometimes there's puzzles and clues you have to find and other times there's people hiding in them and when you're close they jump out and scare you."
079 sighed. "Can we go and do our job? The O-5 council told me one more violation and they take my body away again."
"Yeah let's go." Cain pointed behind him.
Able placed a hand on his chin and thought for a second. "You know, A corn maze is a good place to hid If I didn't want to get captured by the foundation." Able and Iris shared a devious smirk.
"Okay fine." Cain crossed his arms. "You guys look inside or whatever and I'll wait here."
"Aww. You don't want to come with us?" Able teased.
"No. I can't. I'll kill the corn."
"Are you sure it's that or are you just chicken that something will pop out and scare you."
"No! I'm not scared. I just- I just don't want to kill the corn!" Cain refuses to admit that the corn maze did make him a bit paranoid. It was dark and getting lost with a possibility that an SCP might be roaming around didn't make things less frightening.
"Fine." Able lifted his shoulders and began walking towards the entrance of the maze. "You guys coming?"
Iris squealed and 079 shrugged and followed after him. Cain was left alone.
"Okay guys. I'll just be over here. Looking for anything anomalous. Alone. In the dark." Cain began to look around him. Then he heard a twig snap behind him. He turned but saw nothing. Right when he turned around he was met with a carved, laughing pumpkin on a man's body. Cain screamed and ran towards the direction of the corn maze.
Able took off the head of the pumpkin. He was laughing his ass off. Iris and 079 soon appeared out of the maze and went to stand by Able.
"Was that Cain running in the maze?" asked 079.
Able tried responding while laughing. "Y-yes!"
Iris made a worried and painful face. "The O-5 council is not going to be happy about this."
In front of them was a dead corn maze and in it was a screaming Cain.
Halloween Special tomorrow.
