The Stanley Parable (Book edition)

*You enter the Confusion Ending Schedule room, turns around and realizes that both doors led into the same room* Oh, hold up, what's this? Hmm...hmm...the confusion ending? You're telling me...that's what this is? It's all one giant ending? And we're supposed to restart the game...what...eight, eight times?

That's really how all this goes?! It's all...determined?

So now according to the schedule I restart again, then, what...am I just supposed to forget? Well, what if I don't want to forget! My mind goes blank simply because it's written here on this...this...thing! Wall! Well, who consulted me? Why don't I get to decide? Why don't I get a say in all of this! Is it really-

No, it can't be. I don't want it to be. I don't want the game to keep restarting. I don't want to forget what's going on. I don't want to be trapped like this. I won't restart the game. I won't do it! I won't do it! I won't do it. *whooshing sound, Confusion Ending timer stops*

And the timer...uh, stopped? Does that mean...did we do it? Did we break the cycle? The, um...whatever it is that made this schedule? How would we even know? Will someone come for us? Will something happen? So...okay. *sigh*

I guess now we just wait. You know, I suppose in some way, this is a kind of story, wouldn't you agree? I'm not quite sure if we're in the destination or the journey, Though, they're always saying that life is about the journey and not the destination, so I hope that's where we are right now. We'll find out, won't we? Eventually.

.....

Well, in the meanti- *loud buzzer cuts him off*
