The Stanley Thread

[jake9039]

stanley follows the blue line.

[Ethanadams]

Narrator: now stanly the blue line leads to death so follow the red line please

[Prof. Endwalker]

Stanley continues down the red line

Narrator: Thank you! Finally Stanley follows the story for once. I am still very dissapointed in you, Stanley. Now, take the door on the left.

Stanley goes through the centre door.

Narrator: Stanley, Stanley, Stanley... You never seem to listen, don't you?

[Ethanadams]

Narrator: stanly now that you have opened that door I will have to shoot you in less you go back

[jake9039]

stanly finds the blue line again and follows it some more.

[victory143]

"Oh that's better. Now Stanley, all you have to do is follow the blue line, PAST the death. I did say past, not in too... Stanley!"

[Mr_Brain]

Stanley decides to have a good look at the vial of death stored on a shelf next to the blue line, and then continues on the path.

Soon after, he comes to a set of 3 open doors.

[Ethanadams]

he goes into the door on the left only to find THE LINEtm

[Astrofox]

Stanley wonders at the very crudely drawn line, and starts to reconsider his "choice."

[Xannari Ferrows]

Feeling a tad confused, he decided to head back to explore the alternative before making a genuine choice.

[UnionPacific1983WP]

Narrator: Suddenly, a train smashes through the wall. Stanley boards the train.

[Endersmens]

Stanley does not board the train, as he can see that in the process of smashing through the wall, the train has been rendered inoperable. (plus there are no tracks)

Walking to the other side, he finds a small puppy.

[Xannari Ferrows]

Okay, Stanley, I think we're getting off on the wrong foot here. You're supposed to go find a puppy. It's not a difficult task.

Okay, take the second door on your left to get back on track.

[Ethanadams]

stanly walks through the trap door below him

[Blueshark109]

stanly walks through the trap door below him

Stanley falls to a big armoury with the words on a sign DO NOT ENTER and Stanley entered.

[megatiger78]

Stanley turned around and left. Stanley did not pick up the nuclear detonation key. Stanley.. Stanley. why must you do this Stanley?

[UnionPacific1983WP]

Stanley did not pick up the nuclear detonation key.

Stanley played KSP for the first time in two months.

[megatiger78]

Stanley did not realise that by plugging in the nuclear detonation key, he had converted KSP to control the nuke. Stanley realised just in time, so before he crashed it into an orphanage, he... why, Stanley? why do you never listen to m?

[ComradeWolfe]

Puppies? Orphanages? Nuclear keys? Perhaps Stanley was losing his mind... Yes, that's it. The disjointed, inconsistent narrator which guided him through this journey was merely a figment of his imagination!

Stanley walked past the orphans, out on to the street, and towards his his office -- intent on returning to his job at pushing buttons.

Edit:

Wait, that's not right. Why was Stanley in an orphanage? Had he chased the nukes? Obviously, these delusions were more pronounced than he had thought. "This is too much" thought Stanley; "I'm going mad."

[megatiger78]

Stanley saw the sun. only then he realised that he had really nuked the orphanage. Stanley then decided to punish himself for kill said orphans.

[cziken20]

I feel oddly happy about killing all the orphans. Theres jsut something so appealing in killing so many inncoent lives. - said Stanley, as he then quickly proceeded to find some sausage to satisfy his hunger.

[Kinglet]

Stanley finds a sausage, but forgets to chew and starts suffocating in it.

[ComradeWolfe]

His life vanishing before his eyes, Stanley thought long and hard about the significance of it all. The meaning of life, and how he had come to share the same inevitable fate as the orphans, for whom he had accelerated the end's arrival. Would they be there when the last of his oxygen was depleted -- would they judge him for killing them all so carelessly?

Stanley's vision began to fade at the edges and his legs began to buckle... As luck would have it, the impact of falling limply to the ground dislodged the sausage. It was then that his vision returned and he noticed that he had fallen on a trap door.

[Kinglet]

"But there must be a second trapdoor!", Stanley thought, "In the very beginning there were two, so I could have a choice. The narrator MUST have given me a choice here too! I MUST find the other trapdoor, and then follow the narrators directions."

[Noname117]

Stanley found the trapdoor, but decided to go through the one he landed on. Go on now Stanley, there aren't any surprises waiting in there.
