SCP-705 - Militaristic Play-Doh - Summary

Summary

The given text appears to be a detailed, timed description of a child's imaginative play in his backyard. The child, who is bored, stumbles upon a pot of Play-Doh in his father's bag, which he had been told not to look at. He plays with it, and to his surprise, a tiny red man emerges from the Play-Doh. The boy throws the Play-Doh ball, and a group of tiny red men appear, each with their own roles in a small army. The boy, fascinated, continues to throw more Play-Doh, which transforms into more tiny soldiers. A battle ensues between the red soldiers and a group of tiny brown soldiers that emerge from the Play-Doh. The boy throws more Play-Doh, creating more soldiers, but this time they are brown. The battle continues, with the brown soldiers eventually winning. The red soldiers retreat, and the brown soldiers raise a flag, symbolizing victory. The boy's mother calls him inside to make cocoa, and the rain washes away all traces of the war, leaving the backyard seemingly untouched. The text concludes by describing SCP-705, a militarized version of Play-Doh that exhibits aggressive tendencies when opened, forming itself into miniature soldiers.
