   • 2019 April 10, qntm, “CASE HATE RED”, in SCP Foundation‎^[1], archived from the original on 29 May 2024:

     As he creeps towards the main road, someone, another occupied former human, pokes their head around the corner, then calls to others in the strange language, pointing him out. Wheeler stops in his tracks. In another moment, ten or eleven non-people are advancing on him from the road. Two of them are carrying something with them, a limp, badly broken human— a normal human, Wheeler realises with some shock, like him.
