            That must be a simultaneously fascinating and terrible job. Much like a normal SCP operative but worse and more boring.

            “Did I? What was it?”

            “We don’t know.”

            “So what do we do now.”

            “First, I’m interviewing you about the thing.”

            “Thing?”

            “Yes, the thing.”

            “What thing?”

      Do people still use these? I haven’t seen one since my great aunt’s house in the early '90s, and I’m certain it was never used for bread. Still remember the smell of that kitchen. Picked up the early, mineral tones of her weird, dank basement. God damn, I played a lot of Megaman 2 in that basement.
