The SCP Foundation exists to secure, contain, and protect the anomalies that threaten reality.
Most of them scream. Some of them bleed. Others rewrite the laws of the universe in obvious, violent ways.
This one doesn't.
SCP-005 is a key that opens anything.
Not just doors - but boundaries, memories, systems, and ideas that were never meant to be accessed.
Through fractured reports, personnel testimonies, civilian exposure, and an unsettling reader-insert perspective, Still Present explores what happens when containment doesn't fail loudly - but quietly, politely, and completely.
Nothing explodes.
Nothing escapes.
And everything stays exactly where it shouldn't.
You didn't open the file.
You just kept reading.
Reader discretion advised.
Some things are more unsettling once you realize they were never locked at all.
