SCP Foundation

A big thanks to Laneous for helping me write my first SCP, as well as Reverend Fox and KrySalems for the incredibly helpful critique
Also here's the image source so I don't get yelled at

I'm sorry to change my vote, but, -1.

This is surprisingly pretty nice. The ending caught me very off guard, too. +1

It seemed like a regular cliche scp exploration of infinite dimension type deal at first but the twist at the end sold me. You did this really well! It was short, sweet and worth reading. Congrats on the great article.

I approve the inclusion of ghost animals.

Edit: But I upvoted because of the quality of the philosophical content at the end. To quote:

[Nietzsche in Beyond Good and Evil] criticizes other philosophers for preferring a "handful of 'certainty' to a whole cartful of beautiful possibilities."

The ending is something that could have certainly hit a lot harder, had the execution not been so random and the buildup nonexistent. I'm hesitant to even call the turn of story a twist — it has virtually no bearing on the rest of the work, even after a reread, and it's made wholly underwhelming considering how wide of a tonal shift there is:

The log leading up to it is silly, filled with characters that talk like a bunch of teenagers (this is another ding against the piece for me, they're not remotely believable as a group of individuals who know their way around a sub — and it's odd that the Foundation would entrust what is essentially a group of children dicking around an armed vessel), so the sudden shift towards something serious and thought-provoking feels unearned.

The ending is great, but the rest of the work doesn't support it to a satisfactory degree.

+1
Overall, although the log isn't the best, it still has some strong points that end up saving it for me, like the ending.
