Hey man, all caps is pretty unnecessary, please cut that out.
On topic: It is pretty neat, just not up my alley. Also, good to see you back PeppersGhost. Missed you <3
Living the dream, or dreaming the life?
Sorry I dropped off the face of the earth all of a sudden. Things were going badly for me in life and I had to drop all my major time wasting distractions cold turkey to get my life back in order. I'm happy with where I am right now, though, so I plan to ease back in to skip writing.
To kick things off I wanted to tackle Bright's 24 hour challenge. Nothing flashy; just simple weirdness.

That is pretty weird, and the picture is definitely creepy. I don't know what to think of it though, it seems a bit too simple (unless I'm missing some glaring implication).
Neutral, but leaning towards up.
I'm imagining that this was just a common anomaly involving people who wore certain sets of clothes often, leaving behind a trace of themselves. Foundation starts exposing itself to the anomaly, it starts focusing its effect (could be something long term and subtle, who knows) upon them. It's simple and creepy, and I like it.
Also,
Welcome back!
Edit: fixed.
Glad to see you back!
with experience in psychometric anomalous is
Typo?
Overall, I'm kinda neutral on this one. I always enjoy short and simple weirdness, and this is well written, but this isn't really doing much for me.

I upvoted this for the final letter. Not because the skip itself is unique or has anything overly interesting, but because you captured the tone of a routine HR letter PERFECTLY. I thought it was a really great insight into the sort of HR letters that are just common and routine for the Foundation.
Like most workplace memos will say things like, "Please wash your break room dishes after use." Or "this is a friendly reminder that personal cell phone use is not allowed on company time." The Foundation asks you to kindly remember to burn your clothes every six months so they don't animate into a specter. Classic!
This is great as it is, although I was suspecting some manner of involvement of that pitch-black looking man in the background…
My first impression was another SCP-325, but the tone kind of took away from that. But it was the HR letter that sold it. That a group that handles some of the weirdest stuff imaginable can still make a bureaucratic and impersonal HR letter like that.
