"BODIES IN THE WATER" - SCP-2316 Short Film

You do not recognize the bodies in the water.
Based on "SCP-2316" by "djkaktus" www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2316
*SFX BY JOE LINFORD*
A sci-fi assignment created for my third-year Directing course at UNC School of the Arts.

[@BennettGPaton]

Hey all! Director of the film here - greatly due to the popularity of this video, and the views provided by the great SCP community, I've almost reached 100 subscribers. This has been my goal for a long time; while it may be very small compared to most other content creators, the idea that 100 people would be interested in seeing my future works is an amazing one for me. As an aspiring filmmaker, the fact that anyone outside my immediate friends and family can enjoy my work is huge. In another sense, I also need 100 subscribers in order to change my channel name from "ineedcomedy" - the name I selected when I first made my KZbin account when I was about ten - to something more professional. If you enjoyed this short film, I have a variety of others on this channel - and if you like this or them, please consider subscribing in order to help me reach 100 subscribers! Thank you all for supporting me and showing interest in my work.

*I did not have sexual relations with the bodies in the water.*

[@BennettGPaton]

It's been two months, and it's been revealed that you indeed did have sexual relations with that body in the water. You are being stripped of your position as Weeb, and you will mostly be remembered for playing a saxophone somewhat decently. Years from now, your wife, feeling burned, will attempt to gain retribution by rising to the same Weeb position you once held. She will lose, and your bloodline will be forever tainted by your poor decision to fuck a waterlogged illusion.

[@xZippy]

Relatable.

[@laurahuynh8333]

To put it into perspective, this SCP is a cognitohazard. The phrase “I do not recognize the bodies in the water” is used to test the effects of the SCP. If you are able to repeat the sentence, you are not affected. If you do not repeat the phrase, you have been affected. When affected, the individual will begin to recognize the bodies in the water as close relatives and friends. The subject will believe they have endured a tragic accident. Subject will then jump into the water joining them and perishing.

[@lick1330]

But then there is also the chance that the Foundation is covering up the actual nature of the skip (reading the hidden messages makes you wonder what’s really going on)
