    Deep within a classified facility, SCP-096, the Shy Guy, was kept under strict surveillance. The once normal human child, now a grotesque creature, lived in isolation due to its deadly curse.

    Dr. Alex, the head researcher on SCP-096's case, reviewed the creature's history. He couldn't help but feel a chill running down his spine each time he read the case files.

    "Don't let anyone see its face. Not even on a photograph," Alex whispered to himself, recalling the golden rule. He always made sure to keep the creature's face hidden.

    Meanwhile, a group of curious thrill-seekers had managed to infiltrate the facility. They were drawn by the allure of the unknown, the thrill of breaking the rules.

    They navigated through the labyrinth-like facility, whispers of excitement passing between them. It was a dangerous game they were playing, and they were blissfully unaware.

    When they stumbled upon SCP-096's chamber, they were drawn in by the aura of malevolence. It was a chilling sight, the creature crouched in its corner, its face obscured.

    "Dare you to take a peek," one of them whispered, pointing at the creature. The rest of the group exchanged nervous glances, the gravity of the situation finally sinking in.

    Suddenly, one of them, the bravest—or most foolish—stepped forward. She reached for the visor protecting them from seeing SCP-096's face, a reckless curiosity in her eyes.

    Back in his office, Dr. Alex's monitor flashed red. An alarm blared, echoing through the facility. His heart dropped as he realized the containment breach.

    "SCP-096 containment breach," the automated voice repeated. Alex rushed out of his office, fear gripping his heart. The golden rule had been broken.

    As the thrill-seeker removed the visor, a moment of silent anticipation filled the room. Then, SCP-096 let out a gut-wrenching scream, and its rage-filled rampage began.

    The thrill-seekers' curiosity had cost them their lives. The facility was in chaos, and SCP-096 showed no signs of stopping its destructive rampage.

    Hours turned into days, and eventually, SCP-096 was re-contained. The facility returned to its eerie silence, a chilling reminder of the horror that had been unleashed.

    As the sun set, the facility fell into an uneasy silence. SCP-096 sat in its chamber, its face hidden, and its curse, although dormant, was far from broken.
