Rewrite this but set in GTA 5,

“The Narrator
COPYThis is the story of a man named Stanley.

voice_Intro_1_00

The Narrator
COPYStanley worked for a company in a big building where he was Employee Number 427.

voice_Intro_1_01

The Narrator
COPYEmployee Number 427's job was simple.

COPYHe sat at his desk in Room 427, and he pushed buttons on a keyboard.

voice_Intro_1_02

The Narrator
COPYOrders came to him through a monitor on his desk

COPYtelling him what buttons to push, how long to push them, and in what order.

voice_Intro_1_03

The Narrator
COPYThis is what Employee 427 did every day of every month of every year.

COPYAnd although others might have considered it soul-rending

voice_Intro_1_04

The Narrator
COPYStanley relished every moment that the orders came in, as though he had been made exactly for this job.

voice_Intro_1_05

The Narrator
COPYAnd Stanley was happy.

voice_Intro_1_06

The Narrator
COPYAnd then one day, something very peculiar happened.

voice_Intro_2_00

The Narrator
COPYSomething that would forever change Stanley.

voice_Intro_2_01

The Narrator
COPYSomething he would never quite forget.

voice_Intro_2_02

The Narrator
COPYHe had been at his desk for nearly an hour

COPYwhen he realized that not one single order had arrived on the monitor for him to follow.

voice_Intro_2_03

The Narrator
COPYNo one had showed up to give him instructions, call a meeting, or even say hi.

COPYNever in all his years at the company had this happened; this complete isolation.

voice_Intro_2_04

The Narrator
COPYSomething was very clearly wrong.

COPYShocked, frozen solid, Stanley found himself unable to move for the longest time.

voice_Intro_2_05

The Narrator
COPYBut as he came to his wits and regained his senses

COPYhe got up from his desk, and stepped out of his office.

The Narrator
COPYBut Stanley simply couldn't handle the pressure.

voice_LockedOffice_00

The Narrator
COPYWhat if he had to make a decision? What if a crucial outcome fell under his responsibility?

COPYHe had never been trained for that!

COPYNo, this couldn't go any way except badly.

voice_LockedOffice_01

The Narrator
COPYThe thing to do now,” Stanley thought to himself, “is to wait.”

COPY“Nothing will hurt me. Nothing will break me. ...

COPY“... In here, I can be happy, forever.

COPY“... I will be happy.”

voice_LockedOffice_02

The Narrator
COPYStanley waited.

COPYHours passed. Then days. Had years gone by?

COPYHe no longer had the ability to tell.

voice_LockedOffice_03

The Narrator
COPYBut the one thing he knew for sure, beyond any doubt

COPYwas that if he waited long enough, the answers would come.

COPYEventually, some day, they would arrive.

voice_LockedOffice_04

The Narrator
COPYSoon, very soon now, this will end. He will be spoken to.

COPYHe will be told what to do.

COPYNow it's just a little bit closer.

COPYNow it's even closer.

COPYHere it comes.

The Narrator
• COPYAll of his co-workers were gone, wha- [coughing].

COPYUh, excuse me.

voice_Zaxis1_00

The Narrator
• COPYHow wonderful! Stanley was alone! Finally!

COPY“This is great!” he thought to himself.

COPY“This is what I've wanted all along! I got what I wanted.”

voice_Zaxis2_00

The Narrator
• COPYStanley decided to go to the meeting room to check on his co-workers.

COPYHe never functioned well by himself, and constantly needed support and guidance from others.

COPYSo the thought of total solitude was terrifying to him.

voice_Zaxis3_00

The Narrator
• COPYAll of his co-workers were... wait, no, this isn't the right office, is it?

COPYIs this Stanley's office?

voice_Zaxis4_00

The Narrator
• COPY“How long was I sitting there?” Stanley wondered to himself.

COPY“Minutes? Days? Centuries? Did something crucial happen while my senses were turned?”

COPYHe made a note to be more careful with time from now on.

voice_Zaxis5_00

The Narrator
• COPYA soft wind blew outside, and perhaps rain started.

COPYAnd, if it did, it stopped shortly after.

COPYStanley hoped he would one day see weather.

voice_Zaxis6_00

The Narrator
• COPYStanley this, Stanley that...

COPYStanley this, Stanley that...

COPYStanley this, Stanley that...

COPYStanley this, Stanley that...

voice_Zaxis7_00

The Narrator
• COPYSomeone was following Stanley, he was sure of it.

COPYIf he checked over his shoulder now he would surely catch them.

COPYIt was only a matter of time.

voice_zaxis8_00

The Narrator
• COPYEven now, Stanley's office was a distant memory. What had it looked like?

COPYThere was a computer perhaps, and a painting? Was it a painting or a photo?

COPYHe could no longer recall.

voice_zaxis9_00

The Narrator
• COPYThe meeting room, yes. That's where everyone would be.

COPYStanley just needed to get to the meeting room, and from then on he would never be alone ever again.

voice_zaxis10_00

The Narrator
• COPY“Just a step through this door,” Stanley thought to himself.

COPY“That's all I need. If I can make it through this door I can make it through them all.”

voice_zaxis11_00

The Narrator
• COPYAlready this was uncomfortable.

COPYAnd Stanley decided that as soon as he found a new space he felt safe in

COPYthat he would never leave it again in his life.

voice_zaxis12_00

The Narrator
• COPYStanley had never seen the office this brightly lit. Was it a sign of something?

COPYHe hoped it was, he hoped very much that it was.

voice_zaxis13_00

The Narrator
• COPY“Wait,” Stanley thought to himself. “Am I sure that the orders stopped coming in?

COPY“How is that possible, they've never stopped. Surely I was mistaken.”

voice_zaxis14_00

The Narrator
• COPYNo, no, the orders were still missing. For now.

voice_zaxis14b_00

The Narrator
• COPY“I can't wait to tell this story to my co-workers,” Stanley thought.

COPY“How amusing they'll find it! Oh, won't we all just laugh and laugh at the time I thought everyone had gone missing!”

voice_zaxis15_00

The Narrator
• COPYStanley knew the office layout like the back of his hand.

COPYIt was only a matter of time before he found the others, wherever they were.

COPYOnly a matter of time.

The Narrator
COPYStanley just stood there doing nothing at all.

COPYHe seems to think I have nothing better to do with my time

COPYthan to sit around and describe every fascinating little detail of his inability to do anything.

voice_Idle1_00

The Narrator
COPYThis is why Stanley and I are on such good terms.

voice_Idle1_01

The Narrator
COPYStanley stood for a long time in one spot.

COPYIt's part of a game. He likes to see how long he can go without dying.

voice_Idle2_00

The Narrator
COPYSo far, he's doing excellent.

COPYAnd if he just stays right where he is, I'm sure he'll keep up that good momentum.

COPYLet's observe the genius at work.”
