SCP Foundation

Hello!
My idea, in as few words as possible, relates to signs of someones death appearing on the surrounding environment before death. The two versions I've gotten together so far are:

• Cursed chalk; your classic cursed generic item, it compells the user to draw a chalk outline of a dead body (like they do in the movies) somewhere. Within 24 hours they die so that the body lands in the outline perfectly, as if it was drawn afterwards.
• Cursed tablet; when given a name of a target black paint splatter-like marks appear around a place. Later the target of the curse dies in such a way that at least some blood is shed, and this is of course splattered perfectly onto all the black sploshes.

Is there anywhere I can go with this general idea? As I already pointed out the central idea is signs of someones death appearing on the surrounding environment before death.

Note that I've created a story of sorts aswell, but I'm mainly curious as to whether the base idea is worth any effort to begin with.

This is my first post on the forum so if I'm doing anything wrong I take no offence if you point it out.

So you know, compulsion as an approach isn't particularly interesting on its own anymore, given how many times SCPs with that effect have been written. Take a look at the articles tagged with "compulsion".

Furthermore, the SCP's effect forcing someone to do something tends to be a bit of a lame narrative, since things are more interesting if there's a struggle involved, and/or if the people instead do terrible things of their own volition. Consider reading through the further discussion on the narrative issues of compulsion and addiction effects.

Furthermore, you need more to it than ''it kills you in a specific way'', because that's what it essentially boils down to.

So you have your object, but then what? Where do you want to go with that? What story do you want to tell your reader? What do you want them to feel? Who made it? Was is made at all? If it was, for what reason? Where and how did we find it?

The bottom line here is that just describing an object and have it kill people is not nearly enough to create a successful article on the site. Articles need something more, a reason for the reader to care.
