Minute one, or what Stanley thought was minute one since he can't see the clock. The Narrator had just been rambling about how lazy Stanley is but the 'Coward ending' can't happen because Stan hasn't shut the door. So the Narrator is just stuck, sitting here.

At minute thirty, The Narrator had begun to just talk to himself it seemed like he was going insane just sitting there talking to no one. Though Stanley loved every moment of this just hearing his voice in such a calming way made his fingers tingle.
[I have to keep going.] Stanley thought to himself. Just the thought of seeing Narry made Stanley happy and that gave him the courage to move on with the plan.

God knows how long it's been, Stanley forgot how to count a while ago. And he had forgotten why he was doing this in the first place.
[Am I just sitting here? For fun? Why? Why! Am I insane? No, I can't be there's a reason, right? I can't remember.] Stanley just looked at the computer, a tear was forming when Stanley heard.

"No, Shara he has just been sitting there doing nothing at all." It was Narrator, he was back! And who was Shara?
"Oh shut up you old man. Your precious Stanley is fine. Here I'll show you" A reset happened, again, for the fourth time.
"This is a story about a man named Stanley" Shara had done the introduction this time. Stanley could tell that every time she said 'Stanley' Shara had to think about it, like she says these same lines but with a different name.
"OK, Nathan I think you're right. Stanley is broken. You'll probably have to see the Curator to fix whatever is going on." Stanley pondered
[Who is Nathan? Who is the Curator?] All of these questions scared Stanley. He wondered what would happen to him, to Narrator, to his memories.
"Alright Shara I'll go up to Curator. You go back to your office and Narrate Mariella. Thanks for trying."  
"No problem Nathan, good luck with Curator." Stanley sat in his chair. Thinking about his plan should he abandon it? Or keep going? No, he's gotten so far, there's still a chance. To meet him.

Just one more minute.
