There once was a man named Stanley. Stanley worked in a big building as employee 427. Employee 427's job was simple. It was to... It was... to... Is that a unicorn? No, it couldn't be. Unicorns don't exist. And they most definitely don't exist in this story. Why is it here? In Stanley's office? What did you do to Stanley?

"I did not do anything to this person. In fact I think you did something to me."

And what do you think I...? You can talk?!

"Yes, I can indeed talk. Now tell me why I am here?"

I don't know. How do you expect me to know. Magic?

"Well you obviously brought me here with magic. So obviously I expect you to know."

Magic? There is no such thing as magic. At least not in this story.

"No magic? No way out? No knowledge on getting out? Will I die here? Rarity slowly collapsed to her knees out of pure shock. She felt like she was about to cry.

No. Maybe. But this is your story. I'm sure this will end up ok. Don't cry.

"You just said I will die!" Rarity exclaimed, now crying her heart out on the carpet floor.

I said you might die.

"W-well t-that helps a lot! Thank you so much f-for the-the... WAAAAAA!!!!" The narrators attempt to ease her pain, only resulted in more tears for the carpet to soak up.

Come on, we have to move. We have to or nothing is going to happen. Come on we have to go.

With that, Rarity got off her flank and moved to the nearest, and only door in the room. She tried her best to keep back her sniffles and shudders as she calmed down.

The narrator opened the door for Rarity, leading into a room with many desks, computers, chairs, and other things you would usually have in an office. Rarity then went through another door leading into a hallway that just went right and left. At the end of the hallway, there was a room with two doors.

Alright then miss unicorn! Make your choice.

"My name is Rarity. And wouldn't you be the one who would make a choice for me? This is a story that you made. Right?

Yes, but I never included a unicorn. This is basically your story now. I can't alter it. But hey, I'll give it a shot. Go through the left door.
