You’re deep in the middle of a late night study session when you hear something… it’s a sort of clicking sound. You try to ignore it and get back to your books, but there it is again. You turn up your music. There, that’s better. It was probably nothing. Just the house creaking - but no, there it is again. You need to figure out what is causing this. You look around, is it coming from outside your window? Another click. It’s definitely coming from outside. You slowly make your way to the window. It’s dark out, and you can’t see anything with the glare. Slowly, you reach out, grab the window, pull it open, and… Nothing. You stick your head out and look around, but there’s nothing to see. You close the window and go back to studying. But then it happens again. The next morning you’re eating breakfast when you start to hear that clicking noise again. But still nothing is there. On the bus you could swear it’s coming from the seat right behind you. No sign of anything once again. You’re in the middle of your test. Vertebrae are connected to each other by… what’s the word? It’s not going quite as well as you hoped, it was hard to study last night with the constant clicking, but you’re giving it your best. At least the noise has stopped so you can concentrate for a bit. You jump up and look behind you, determined to catch what’s making this noise, but there’s nothing there. You look around at your confused classmates before sheepishly sitting back down. The cracking noise is almost endless now. You can hardly go a moment without hearing it. It goes on like this for months and months. No one else can hear it, and no one seems to believe you. On one level, you’ve been able to get used to it, but on another, you never have adjusted to the constant clicking that follows you everywhere you go. You’re sitting on the floor of your room, concentrating, focusing hard, trying to will the noise out of your mind. You clench your eyes shut as hard as you can and put all of your mental energy towards stopping the noise when just then… it’s gone. No more clicks. You open your eyes, could this be it? Could it all be over? Click, click, click. You turn around to see it. But it’s too late. What you have just witnessed is a textbook example of an SCP-4975 attack. An anomaly that has been aptly nicknamed… Time’s Up. SCP-4975 is a tall, thin, entity with some vaguely avian features, most notably a beak. Its long limbs lack any distinct digits, instead tapering off into formless nubs, and a thick, hardened layer of dark skin covers its entire body including its beak. In addition to its striking appearance, SCP-4975 is perhaps best known for the distinctive clicking sound that it makes. The vertebrae in its long neck are not connected by any intervertebral discs or other tendons, and each of these neck bones appears to be able to move independently of one another. It rotates these vertebrae constantly, one at a time, from bottom to top ending at its head, creating a constant swinging motion of the head back and forth. It is each movement of these vertebrae that produces the distinctive clicking or cracking sound. SCP-4975’s primary behavior is the pursuit and stalking of human beings. Once it has chosen a target, for reasons that still remain unknown, it will begin to follow them, and only the target will be able to hear the clicking sound, though they won’t be able to determine where the sound is actually coming from. SCP-4975 will continue to stalk its victims for an extended period of time, as long as ten months or more, until at some point it stops swinging its head, the clicking sounds cease, and 4975 attacks. In an attack, SCP-4975 uses its long appendages to club and tear the victim apart, after which it will consume them, often starting while the victim is still alive. One single human size cadaver appears to be enough to last SCP-4975 for several months, after which it will target a new prey and begin the process all over again. Evidence of SCP-4975 has been found as far back as 1538, with a creature very similar to it appearing in numerous German folk tales. Multiple artistic depictions from the time also show a large, black avian creature that can only be assumed to be the same anomaly. In what should be a bit of good news, SCP-4975 is currently in containment at an SCP Foundation facility, where it is confined to a standard steel containment cell. However as you’ll soon see, this containment has not resulted in the end of SCP-4975 attacks, and reports of new incidents continue to come in. In one such report from the Black Forest region of Germany, Foundation Agents were investigating the case of a local man who had reported that he had been hearing a rhythmic clicking sound for over four months. The man assumed he was being stalked, or was the subject of a cruel prank, and asked the local authorities to look into the matter. The Foundation Agents took the man into custody, giving the cover story to the local police that the man had been experiencing auditory hallucinations and paranoia as a side effect of an experimental chemotherapy he had been receiving. The agents took the man to the last place he had heard the clicking sound, which was a wooded area. As they walked through the forest, the man grew increasingly nervous, until he stopped and pointed at a tree, claiming that it was where the sound was coming from. The man froze in fear as the agents drew their weapons and prepared to inspect the three. They split up and with a tactical efficiency, circled the tree on either side to find… nothing. At the same time, the man screamed, pointing at a creature the agents could not see that the man claimed was coming for him. The man was thrown to the ground by his invisible assailant and struck multiple times. The agents attempted to attack where it seemed the invisible creature should be, but their fists and weapons passed through the air as if nothing was there. Another agent attempted to drag the man away but he was pinned down by a mysterious force. A large wound began to appear on the man’s midsection as his abdomen was opened up. Still unable to move the man or stop whatever it was that was attacking him, and with no other options, a Foundation Agent took out his gun and terminated the man. Moments later, as the Agents looked on, strips of flesh began to be torn from the body and vanish, as if an invisible creature was feeding on the deceased man. But this invisible attack wasn’t even the strangest part. At the exact moment the man in Germany was killed and devoured by an unseen force, SCP-4975 was observed to be standing motionless, staring at the southeastern corner of its containment cell, and it was no longer clicking its neck. Any human contact with SCP-4975 has been disallowed, and all current research into the creature has been temporarily ceased. Though it has been classified as Euclid, following these continued attacks and the bizarre behavior it exhibits as they take place, reclassification to Keter-class is pending. In the event that a containment breach takes place, it is official Foundation policy that any personnel who begin hearing a persistent rhythmic cracking noise are to isolate themselves from other staff, and calmly wait for SCP-4975 to be returned to its chamber, or for the noises to stop. Perhaps as you wait for the clicking noise to cease, you can amuse yourself with an old German nursery rhyme that is believed to have been written about SCP-4975. Its translation goes: "Tick tock", the cuckoo clock ticks. "Cuckoo", the bird inside sings. As ticks the time, so ticks your heart. May you live long as you hear its song. Listen close, for when it stops the hatchling comes out of its home. Did you hear it? Did it stop? My child, it meant your time… was up.
