Dude I saw something weird like this last night. I was driving down the alley behind my house to my parking pad, and there was this tall skinny kid in a hoodie slouched over, fixated on their phone, walking really slow. They second they saw my headlights they ran down the alley really fast, but once they came to the end of the alley they returned to slouching, looking at their phone, and walking slow, with the mechanical-ness of a video game NPC.

That I kinda wrote off, but then once I was back inside I saw them running back down the alley, the opposite direction, but then they stopped again and slouched and kept looking at their phone at the same pace. They repeated this like four times, just running down the alley, slouch and walk slow looking at their phone, then running back.

I was kinda spooked by it, thought I had encounter a SCP, the Slouching Kid.

the Slouching Kid.

Sounds like a urban legend kids would make up.

Idk, what if I hadn't been in a car?

Slouching Kid just hisses and runs away before burying their face in their phone again. The phone is part of it's being obviously.

What if they instead turn their phone at me, but it's not actually a phone, but a pocket dimension in their hand, where I am trapped with all their other victims forever, just to be watched by their slouching figure?

That's actually a great SCP

Sounds like he’s practicing his running game. Runs down an alley he knows the length of, looks at the timer app on his phone to see what his time was

This was at 930pm.

In winter.

On a rainy day (albeit light rain, more of a drizzle)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

That seems reasonable. He probably only got home from work at 9 and decided to do a light 4x200 because the weather was bad.

That kid is just training for track

At 930pm on a rainy December day?

At this latitude? At this time of year?
