      To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day
      Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn't have too much to say,
      No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip
      The stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip,
      Big iron on his hip
      It was early in the morning when he rode into the town
      He came riding from the south side, slowly lookin' all around
      "He's an outlaw loose and runnin'", came a whisper from each lip
      "And he's here to do some business with a big iron on his hip,
      Big iron on his hip"
      In this town there lived an outlaw by the name of Texas Red
      Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead
      He was vicious and a killer, though a youth of twenty four
      And the notches on his pistol numbered one and nineteen more,
      One and nineteen more
      Now the stranger started talkin' made it plain to folks around
      Was an Arizonia ranger, wouldn't be too long in town
      He was here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead
      And he said it didn't matter that he was after Texas Red,
      After Texas Red
      Wasn't long before this story was relayed to Texas Red
      But the outlaw didn't worry, men who tried before were dead
      Twenty men had tried to take him, twenty men had made a slip,
      Twenty one would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip,
      Big iron on his hip
      Now the morning passed so quickly and it was time for them to meet
      It was twenty past eleven when they rode out in the street
      Folks were watchin' from their windows,
      Every body held their breath,
      They knew this handsome ranger was about to meet his death,
      About to meet his death
      There was twenty feet between them
      When they stopped to make their play
      And the swiftness of the Ranger still talked about today
      Texas Red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped
      And the ranger's aim was deadly, with the big iron on his hip,
      Big iron on his hip
      It was over in a moment and the crowd all gathered 'round
      There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground
      Oh, he might have went on livin' but he made one fatal slip
      When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip,
      Big iron on his hip
      Big iron, big iron,
      Oh he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip,
      Big iron on his hip

    I.. don't think Anna fainted from shock.
    If reality was re-stabilizing for Robert due to the Anchor experiments his wife was conducting, then he would undoubtedly die a painful death. That's why it hurt to touch red - it was quickly stabilizing (possibly due to being an inanimate object?) and thus was "realizing" the damage he had endured around itself. The many references to "splattering noises" and the smell of blood and vomit covering red when it appeared in our reality indicates that Robert's destruction was "realizing" as... lots and lots of gore..
    However, after that whole thing was done, he said he had re-stabilized, and had 5 more years to leave. So what happened for him to re-stabilize without dying? Well, if you read the entry, you'll see that he didn't just ask to hold Anna's hand.. he asked her to give him parts of her. Her lips, her toe... her brain, as he only had half of his. He asked her to give him her parts while constantly apologizing, begging for forgiveness. At the same time, he was telling how he was still losing parts of himself, namely his ring.
    When red reappears in our dimension, we see that Anna finds Robert's hand, with his ring, in the gore. Thus, we can conclude that the recording of red reappearing in our universe is happening at the same time as the final moments of red's recording. From reading the documents linked in the footnotes, explaining Humes in more detail, we also know that reality benders can change reality, because they have a higher than normal Hume level, while their surrounding area has a lower than normal Hume level, thus they are "more real" than the world around them and their willpower dictates what reality actually is in that area. Finally, we know that the non-dimension Robert was in has less than 0.1 Humes, lower than was even thought possible, while Robert himself, evidently, still had a much higher Hume count than that, even if it was low enough that he was falling apart. (Those same footnotes also explain that 0 Humes are not only possible, but actually part of the way a "Hume" was defined to begin with, and that those measures are all relative to the universe they're being measured in, so clearly the author of 3001 either was misinformed or took creative liberty since there is no real canon in SCP, so you can consider my theory invalid on those grounds if you want, I suppose, though I can't shake the feeling this is what the author's intended interpretation was, so I will continue to defend it).
    So, we have essentially a reality bender of absolute power, slowly falling apart, asking for his wife to give him pieces of her body. At the same exact time, his wife is coming into contact with an object that links her directly to his dimension, while she is in an extremely low-Hume environment, who falls unconscious at roughly the same time as said reality bender asks her to give him his brain. Then that reality bender apologizes, and remarks that he is restored and has another 5 years before falling apart again.
    I think Robert Scranton, knowingly or not (or at least, sane or not), ripped chunks of his wife to reform himself and give himself more time to escape.
    Reading this entry made me break down in tears a couple times. First, when his picture of Anna is fading. Imagining myself in his position, I suddenly felt this unbearable, crushing despair, and i had to stop for a few minutes to recompose myself. Then when he was screaming for his imaginary "kids", Lucy and David to come back - that made me shed a few tears and stop for a few seconds. But then, after all that, reading what I interpreted to be him, probably in a strange combination of madness and lucidity, murdering his wife, by incorporating her into his very being... I was fucked up. This SCP is incredibly good... but fuck did it hurt to read...

I don't really know if the foundation even *could* make the reality anchor without him, but then again we don't know how much anyone else knows about the science involved.

    I like to imagine Anna uses his logs to try and figure out her way to the red dimension, eventually making a device that lets her safely tunnel back and forth with broken wormholes. She brings her husband medical supplies she manages to find, going as far as finding an organ from a D-class. She starts bringing in cybernetics to stabilize him enough to make it to reality, and then food and water and whatever comforts he wants while the room slowly stabilizes him and she keeps returning regularly in short bursts to keep him happy and to be able to see him happy. Eventually, he is strong enough to survive reality again but lacks the muscles to move really at all now, his blood vessels as well replaced largely by synthetic piping made by Anna to ensure he stabilizes. Upon returning to the world, he quickly starts transitioning to the much, much stronger reality in our dimension, especially with it being his native world. Because of this sudden shock of pain, and at the same time happiness, he looks at Anna as he fades into the dark one final time, this time with his body staying with her, forever.

    When the light is running low, and the shadows start to grow, and the places that you know seem like fantasy
    There’s a light inside your soul, that’s still shining in the cold, with the truth, the promise in our hearts
    Don’t forget
    I’m with you in the dark

      Scranton fell into his own creation, and was torn apart by the darkness.

    Imagine if he becomes a *Pattern Screamer*... That'd be interesting... Or at least became some sort of SCP, cause I'm sure most of us reading this specific comment, know about the SCP-versions of the afterlife. Or at least the few versions of it. Especially the one that has a Group-Of-Interest in it.

    I got here from your late October 2021 Q&A, where you said that this was probably your favorite single SCP story. I find it interesting that is one of the very few SCP I have read at this point. I can see why you like it so much. It certainly stuck with me all this time.
    It was wonderful hearing you relate the tale and talk about it.
