The sun's still just rising over the horizon. I got started early, so that I could be done around this time. I started building a slide, a big metal slide. Perfect for getting static shocks, just what a playground needs, I think. A big, nice slide for the kids. I'm just finishing attaching the actual slide parts to the stairs. It's been a long morning, and my arms are starting to hurt. I'm ready to.

take a break and I'm really grateful I'm about to be done putting this slide up. My drill turns the screw into place and at that point I'm done, really done. Just a few hours of work and I'd assembled a whole slide. Some parts were pretty heavy. I'm proud of myself. It's just in time too. I stand back and admire it. When I was a kid, I used to be so scared of slides. Those tube slides specifically. I was kind of a big kid, and I was afraid of getting stuck in them. Stupid fear, yeah. But that's why I didn't make this one a tube slide. It was just a half pipe, just a typical slide for the kids to play on,

to slide down, mostly. I take a deep breath, pick up my water bottle, and take a swig. Cold water trickles down my throat, like kids down a tube slide. It's break time. The park is big and open. This playground is just one small section of it. I mosey down a path, past, some nice trees, past some nice grass, to a nice little bench, and I sit down. Far enough away

from the playground to not look creepy. Guys like me look creepy when we watch kids, but I'm not like them, I swear. I just want to watch them go down my slide and admire my work. It was a whole morning, so I want to see my effort pay off. I sit down and wait. It's still early, so it takes a while for kids to arrive. There, I see some parents walking around, talking. with each other, dutifully keeping their eyes on their kids, like good parents, I think. I take another sip of water, but I don't stop watching the kids. It doesn't take long for one of them to be attracted to the slide. They walk up the steps, get to the top, sit down, and they slide.

They make it down to the bottom and stand up, like how slides work. It's only after they've stood up that I realize I'm holding my breath. I release the air from my lungs and take a couple large gulps of air. I take another sip of water. I won't stop watching. The kid, the one who got to the bottom, goes to the swings. Done so soon? I feel a twinge of sadness. My slide only captivated him for one go on it. I think kids are supposed to do it a couple times. As I watch, several pass by it, and I watch. New slide, new slide. They want to go on the new slide. One finally does. My heart rate quickens. They start climbing the steps, and I stop blinking. I don't want to miss it.

kids using my new slide. They get to the top, sit down, and they slide. They make it down. They actually fly off the bottom. They went so fast, they landed on the wood chips well past the slide. I can't hear them very well, but I think the laughter swells. A parent goes up to them, asks if they're okay, I think, and the kid has gone before they can even give an answer. They go to the monkey bars. No more slide for them. I look away for a second. It's hard, But I take a sip of my water, and I keep watching. More kids go up and down the slide. It's a hit.

I feel some relief I didn't know I was waiting for. They love it. It was worth my morning to put up. Eventually, it starts to look like the playground is clearing up. The group of parents start collecting their kids, but it's slow. Not everyone wants to go right away. Some take a couple more trips around the monkey bars. Some swing for a minute or two more.

Some are just running around. The parents are patient. They planned for this delay, I bet. When almost all the kids are collected, there's only two moms and a kid left. The moms are talking, and the kid is pulling their shirt. They say something. Looks like the kid is begging.

I take another sip of my water. They trot away, and I see they're going for my slide. My new slide, I installed just today. They're going for it. I was just about to stand up, just about to take my leave as well, but I stay seated. I keep watching.

Last ride at the day, the day, it's an event. I grab the arm of the bench tightly, sweat, accumulating in my palm, running off of my knuckles. It's been so hard to watch, so, so hard. But there's just one more. It's like I can feel every step he takes up the slide. I feel like I twitch each time. I'm starting to crunch my bottled water. They make it to the top, but they don't sit down. They get on their stomach, and they're going to go head first. It's like it's in slow motion. It feels like it takes forever. I glance over to the parents.

They aren't watching. They're just talking. My gaze returns to the kid as he pushes off. First, it's a steep dive, a long, interminable dive. I can only imagine how many little static shocks he's getting. Down, down, down he goes. He's past the vertical part of the slide. He starts to even out, like a plane about to take off.

He's going to go straight into the wood chips. My knuckles turn white. My jaw is clenched so hard my flat teeth hurt. It's so hard to watch. You never go face first on my slides. He's about to make it, about to take off. His head makes it past the end of the slide. I can see that he's about to extend his arms to try to break his fall, and then,

poof, he is gone. It was so hard to watch. I take my eyes away. I try to make up a scene in my head. He made it to the bottom. He stood up. He ran over to his parents. They laughed, and they left.

But that wasn't what happened. I take a swig of my water and finish the thing. I stand up and throw up. and the trash next to the bench. I start to walk away. The kids love my slide. I think I can live with that. On normal days like these, I think that's the best kind of thing you can expect. As I'm walking away, I hear a female's voice. It is a mom calling out to her son. I lower my head. I only have one regret. One regret about today. It's this terrible thing, and I really tried not to do it. I can hear her now, even as my feet take me further away from her. She's calling. Donnie? Donnie?

Like she's trying to get him to come back so they can leave. And I wish they could. But Donnie is gone. The tone of her voice changes. It's louder. Donnie? Donnie? I just shake my head.

I really tried not to. I really thought I wasn't going to. But I guess, on normal days, I'm just not that careful. I tried not to, but I still made a slide. SEP 1562 is a metal playground slide, measuring 2.2 meters high and 3.4 meters long. SCP 1562 was acquired from an abandoned playground after several children in the area went missing. The object's anomalous effects only manifest when a person slides down headfirst on their stomach,

with their arms tucked down at their sides. Any other orientation of the body or limbs while sliding results in no effect, and only human beings are affected. When a person slides down SCP 1562 in the aforementioned manner, they will disappear instantly and completely at approximately 15 centimeters before the the end of the slide. So far, no one who has disappeared while using SCP 1562 this way has been recovered. Attempts to tie safety lines to test subjects and an effort to pull them back have ended in failure as the tether is severed at the moment the test subject disappears.
