Gooday to you all!

My idea for an scp is a safe room said room is locked. And the contents of the inside are seemingly unknown, the skip revolves around the people in charge of opening the room. Slowly devolving to insanity and obsession with opening the safe room and in the end it opens. But that's when the scp article ends you never know what's inside.

Notes:
-The safe room is indestructible through conventional and unorthodox means such as anomalies.
-This is an 5000 contest entry idea.

It's easy to confuse "mystery" with "lack of information". But a good mystery needs to give the reader a real reason to care about solving it. A locked room with unknown contents that you never actually tell us what's inside is not a mystery. Why is the Foundation so concerned with opening this room? What's anomalous about it other than it being indestructible? Why do they devolve into insanity?

This just feels like a cliffhanger for the sake of a cliffhanger. There's no real story or anything that gets me invested.
