After a long few months of playing CyberPunk 2077, lollygagging in shame, and paying out the nose to replace a flat tire, change brake fluid and have a wheel alignment performed on my car, it's finally here for all of you to enjoy.

Thank you so much to newnykacolaquantum, Ferox Numine, JorgeMtzb, Keflanes, Comrade Waldo, and especially Roufhous for the critique.

This was originally gonna be an SCP-8000 submission, but I got terrible writer's block and didn't finish it.

How was it going to fit into the 8kcon theme? Well, it's a revenge fantasy.

This is a unique kind of storytelling I haven't seen anywhere else on the wiki so far. I was hooked in starting from the first paragraph and thought you handled this concept really well.

At first I thought this non anomalous cryptid was interesting if a little plain (reminded me of series 1) but the plot thickening was absolutely gripping. +1.

This is really, really good, and compelling enough for its length. An excellent example of how to tell a conventional murder mystery story using the SCP format and still retain the SCP relevance. Well done, Jiwoahn. +1

I really enjoyed this. Thought I had it pegged at first but then it threw me for a curveball.

But I have to wonder if this was written by Luigi before the fact.

Either way: +1

Author here, I'm not actually Luigi, just a person who had a psychic vision of the future after getting a flat tire on the way to work.

Revenge fantasies have always interested me, and with the enshittification of American healthcare, it was only a matter of time before someone did something about it.

That being said, when news of the UHC assassination came out, I was a little spooked at my prediction. I wasn't able to ride any ensuing meme popularity though, but I'll always point to this article as the first time I predicted a major world event.

Thanks for reading.
