 Item number SCP-4763 Anomaly Class Safe Special Containment Procedures The Farmland Housing SCP-4763 has been encircled with a chain-link fence and CCTV system. No sapient entities are permitted access. Description SCP-4763 is a disused well in Gillsfield, Wales. SCP-4763 remains constantly filled to a depth of 10 meters with a viscous black fluid, identified by Foundation metaphysicians as impure liquid pathos. This fluid, when ingested, will trigger a permanent restructuring of local reality, with specifics as outlined in Document 4763 Escalus. Due to the nature of pathos, these restructurings are invariably harmful, physically or emotionally, to the subject consuming the fluid. Discovery SCP-4763 was located following the death of 13-year-old Timothy Driscoll, who drowned in the well alongside his two pet dogs, having fled to the farmland as refuge from his abusive father. Both dogs had gone missing in the months prior, and were reunited with the child only after his death. Timothy's father later drowned while attempting to recover the body before the authorities could investigate, and his mother committed suicide through hanging after hearing of the news. Due to the fixture of the news to a weakened support beam, their family home collapsed moments after her death, killing Timothy's elder brother and three further family pets. Timothy had previously been employed as a paper delivery boy, and his father and brother worked at a family owned butcher's shop, which was failing due to the opening of a large supermarket in the vicinity. His mother was an amateur novelist, although she had recently received her first successful offer of publication. All manuscripts were lost in the building collapsed and ensuing fire. The only item not destroyed during the event was a winning lottery ticket, worth over £2,200,000. Based on financial extrapolations, all family members are estimated to have been two days from potential retirement.
