SCP-5990: Out of my head, out of my mind | [Audio version]
Author:Lt Flops
So, here's my entry for DAY ONE of the 144-Hour Jam Contest Two! The theme was, of course, EXPLOSIONS, and the first thing to enter my mind at 12:01 AM was mindsplosions! I vowed this contest to write articles related to Oneiroi.1 This isn't exactly Oneiroi Collective — it's Oneiroi-adjacent, but if I were to tag this, they'd get the tag. I suppose it's up to the tech team to determine whether it is, but I'm down for discussion.2
This article is also set in the Broken Masquerade! I have tagged it as such, but it may not slot into that canon's anthology as neatly as I would like, so I may just consider this a branch universe of that canon.
I knew very early on that I wanted to write a timeline of events. I can say with full honesty that SCP-4882 is my partial inspiration for that, but I tried not to associate the thought of my timeline with 4882 while writing this! I also had trouble figuring out the tone. There are, of course, some dark aspects to this, and most timeline entries in here are in some way inspired by current, real world events. Ultimately, that's for you to decide.
