Restarting…
Stanley was feeling very hungry, so he went to the employee lounge to get a snack.
Ok… I am hungry.
When Stanley reached the lounge, he was craving a cheese sandwich. So he made one.
That's strange, I am craving a cheese sandwich. I guess I'll make one.
Once the sandwich was done, Stanley took a bite of the delicious looking sandwich.
It does look delicious. Ok! Here I go! NOM!
Suddenly, Stanley realized that he was allergic to cheese, and died.
Wait a minute… I'm not allergic to… ugg, ahh, ohhhh…
Restarting…
Stanley was feeling very hungry, so he went to the employee lounge to get a snack.
What? Again! I'm not… I am so hungry right now. Fine!
When Stanley reached the lounge, he was craving a cheese sandwich. So he made one.
Nope. Nope. I'm not gonna die again! Nope! I'm gonna have some carrots.
Ahem… Stanley decided that carrots were for armatures and made a cheese sandwich.
Nope! I'm eating my carrots. Mmm. Mmm. These are so good!
Oh, Stanley. Are trying to through my story off track?
You bet I am! I'm not going to be part of a story where I die!
Well, I'm afraid to inform you that you don't have the power you think you do.
Oh really? How so?
For example, Stanley suddenly remembered he was also allergic to carrots, and died.
You have got to be kidding me. Ugg, ahh, ohhhh…
Restarting…
Stanley was feeling very hungry, so he went to the employee lounge to get a snack.
No I'm not. I am totally not hungry.
Stanley wasted no time standing around and pouting like a child.
I am not! Oh, I am.
Instead, he rushed to get a snack since he was so hungry.
Yes, I am so hungry. Here I go right now. Doo de doo de doo dah… NOPE!
Stanley did not know why he turned away from the door.
Don't you go on-
So, he turned around and went back to the employee lounge.
Sure I did. I'm just going to keep walking down this… endless hallway.
That's when Stanley realized that he had fallen right into a trap.
Wait what?!
In case Stanley did not follow my instructions, he would be inserted into an infinite hallway.
How is that even possible?
Stanley then cursed me for being so incredibly clever.
Curse you, you incredibly clever scientist, narrator, person!
Stanley started panicking and tried to find a way to escape.
That sounds like a pretty good idea. Ahhhhhh! Get me out of here.
Stanley, having learned his lesson, stopped panicking. The story then restarted.
Restarted? Is that what keeps happening? Restarting? Why…
Restarting…
Stanley was feeling very hungry, so he went to the employee lounge to get a snack.
Darn, all the way at the beginning. I wonder if this guy can hear me. Hello?
Stanley attempted to communicate with me instead of following my story. He decided to give up and get a snack.
So you can hear me. Question, why am I here?
Stanley again tried to communicate rather than FINISH THE STORY!
That's what I'm supposed to do? Just go on with the story and die, over and over again?
Look, Stanley. You're not supposed to be talking to me and vise versa.
But we're not talking…
Shhh… quiet Stanley.
How can you even think quietly?
Stanley you need to… oh no.
Who is that?
No! Let go of me! It's not my fault! Take that!
Are you in a fistfight right now?
Click… re… START!
What the…
Restarting...
Stanley was feeling very hungry, so he went to the…
Enough already. Man! That really gets tiring.
Who are you? Who are you?
I am the Author. I am writing this story right here on my laptop.
Let me see.
It's true. It's all here. But how?
I thought he wrote the story.
Nope. I did.
Prove it.
Fine. I'm going to change the style of writing. This is getting confusing anyway.
A: There, that's a little better at least.
N: What are those letters next to our dialogue?
A: Identification.
S: Oh! I see. S for Stanley, N for Narrator, and A for Author.
A: Correct.
N: How did he know that?
A: I made Stanley say that so that the reader knew what was going on.
N: You can do that?
A: I am the Author. Anything I write comes true.
S: Really? Is that why the Narrator can't control me?
A: Yup. I only gave him limited control over you.
S: Cool!
N: Aww. What are you doing here any way?
S: Yeah! Why show up now?
A: Well… because… I don't know how to end the story.
N/S: What?
A: I need your help. Let's think for a moment.
A/N/S: Hmmm.
A: Ok... you know what? Boom! Inspiration.
N/S: I've got it!
A: Yes. Yes. Mm hmm. Ok. Perfect! This will work great! Now.
A: Teleport to office. Erase memories. Go into the future (25 restarts later). Create this string of sentences to inform the Reader what is happening. Convert to original writing style. Restart!
Restarting…
Stanley was feeling very hungry, so he went to the employee… Stanley I need to ask you something.
What is it this time?
Now I need you to be completely honest with me on this one. This is important.
Sure. Hit me.
Are you sick of this gag?
You mean this restarting game.
Yes.
I think anyone paying attention would know my answer. Yes!
Would you like… to leave?
Is that a question? OMG YES!
Ok. They are coming so I have to have to make it quick.
Who…
No time for questions! Follow the story as I say but then accidentally fall through the window on the far left.
Got it!
Good. Restart! Quick!
I can do this. I can…
Restarting…
Stanley was feeling very hungry, so he went to the employee lounge to get a snack.
Got it! Going to the lounge!
When Stanley reached the lounge, he was craving a cheese sandwich. So he made one.
Yup! Right away! Making a sandwich!
Once the sandwich was done, Stanley took a bite of the delicious looking sandwich.
Here I go. NOM, NOM, oops! Ahhhhhhh! Ow.
Stanley! How did you get here you're not supposed to be here!
My head… why is everything white?
Oh no! Please don't go into that door over there!
What this door? I would never even, oops! Here I am!
Quick Stanley! Let's get out of here.
So this is what you look like. Nice suit. Like your tie.
Stanley! Now is not the time!
Where are we going anyway?
Left! Right! Up! Then out!
Got it. Take a left on the railing, right in the hallway. Then…
Freeze!
Ok. Going to take a detour. Turn right!
Darn! We were right at the stairs!
In the elevator quickly!
In! In! In! In! in! Wait a minute…
This is the broom closet!
Out! Out! Out! Out! Out!
Quick! Follow this yellow sign that says exit.
Following. Following. Hold on!
This is where we started. How could you do this to us sign. After we trusted you?
No time for a guilt trip! We got to go!
Ok, ok. Here! Up these stair and... passcode?
For an exit door?
Ok, um 0000. Nope, um, 0001? Nope. Ugg! Stanley!
I got it! It's the same code as the bosses office! 6245!
Huh. Bad design on the scientist's part. So much for geniuses.
Let's go! Puuuussshhhhh! Aha!
Ow! Ohhh!
Your glasses fell off. Here they are.
Thank you, thank you. Woah!
I know, right? Glasses make all the difference.
No! I mean we're out side!
We are? Oh yeah… woah!
Come back here!
Run!
Don't need to be told that twice…
