[Unlike the other alternate endings, this one was optional. I chose to write it instead of me accidentally typing it up.]

Chapter Four: Problem

The Narrator spawned at the start of a hallway.

"Huh, I don't remember making this part of the map at all." Walking a bit further, he noticed a sign.

"'The Narrator needs to be present for it to work?' Well, this shouldn't be a problem for us!" He said, laughing. "Right, Stanley?"

...There was no answer.

"Stanley? Hello?" The Narrator was starting to get worried. "Are you... is everything okay?" He looked up at the ceiling, hoping for a response, then he shook his head. "No.. you were messing with me before. I don't care anymore." He began walking again. Unaware of the danger ahead.

Stanley waited for the loading screen to finish. As soon as it did, the computer crashed. Stanley started panicking. If The Narrator gets to the escape pod without him, it will be an eternal black screen for The Narrator. Stanley knew of this. Its just that The Narrator knew more about the game, and could reset it manually, without the button. Something Stanley didn't know how to do.

He was frantically pressing the power, tapping the microphone, trying his best to warn The Narrator of impending doom. He managed to get the screen to work, but that was about it. The Narrator was on the last staircase.

"No!" He silently screamed. Tears were falling from his eyes. "No! Turn back! Please!" He started shaking the desktop.

"I'M SORRY! PLEASE DON'T GO IN!"

The Narrator was now annoyed at the silence Stanley gave him. It wasn't even funny.

He made it to the escape pod launch bay entrance and stepped inside the dark room.

'It doesn't matter anyway.' The Narrator thought. 'The game will be fixed soon.'

He could see the escape pod now. Just a few steps away.

Finally, free-

"NO!" Stanley screamed as he watched The Narrator enter the escape pod. The screen turned black.

No matter what he did, he couldn't escape the black screen. A dark reminder of his mistake. Not even unplugging the computer would turn it off.

Stanley buried his face in his hands, sobbing.

'I'm sorry I didn't listen to you..'

{The Eternal Ending}

[One sad ending for The Narrator, one sad ending for Stanley. Its only fair. This one's pretty short. xD]

[I like this one better than the first ending, though.. (Also, there are 427 words!)]
