Well, in typical me form, I did all options. Delightful story there. Really crazy too. Love'd every minute of reading it. You should try something like this again.
2613981 You're supposed to do all the options, to get the full story. ;} So tell me, which was the happy ending?
2614594 all of them. But yet none of them. It's all your perception. Avoiding details for spoilers, but depending on how you perceived what was going on, any of them could have been happy. Though I did go left first. Conscious decision too. 'When in doubt, go left!' Always confuse people with that, and I know the whole psychology thing on it too. But there's no real reasoning behind me going left.
So I waited first. Does this make me smart, stupid, or have the ability to start with either foot when walking? (P.S. Love how you ended this)
2615071 ding ding ding, this guy gets it.
2617007 it means you clicked the middle button.
I went all three ways. Does that mean I'm currently in three different dimensions now?
Also, I'd say the 2nd ending was the best (right). He killed both the schemers and didn't have his heart broken, so it was all "good."
Indeed, a suitably mad story both in design and content; well done. A madman you may indeed be, sire.
You're still no wizard, though.

And hello, Muffins.
Adrenaline is a hormone. Noradrenaline is the neurotransmitter.
Seriously, it's like you aren't even trying. This is basic knowledge.
Yeah, I am 100% sure you don't know half of what you're saying. I'm done. Try again after you study a bit more the effects of stimulant substances on the central nervous system.
I rather enjoyed these three endings. Very nice way to weave a tale! My only question is what happened to Beam when we went Right? Or are we just supposed to assume he went the other way and perished in the protagonist's inferno? Or did I just miss where you mentioned him?
The way I saw it, there were only two strategies: move forward or about-face.
The first would then demand a random pick, as I was clueless as to where the wife might be. But it would also force the (most likely hostile) pursuer(s) into the same coin toss to find the protagonist.
The second would exhaust any chance to escape the (again most likely hostile) pursuer(s). But the protagonist seemed hot-blooded enough to beat the correct direction out of the enemy.
I decided to read the "Wait" chapter. Rule of cool, perhaps. I would sooner have the protagonist lose to his assailants than to a broom closet.
This chapter gave me an impression of victory and corruption. You won, "hero".
Then I read the two remaining chapters.
And now I am puzzled. I would believe that Beam told it true and Maybelline had it all planned for money, only she got double-crossed by Silver Spectacles who actually wanted to realize some villain fantasy involving a showdown among deathtraps. Otherwise, either a certain friend is lying or the antagonists are lunatics of the "step three: profit" variety.

I want to know that too. And how do you do the mouseovers?
Meh, all ends are up to your own speculation.
3376212 All three dimensions? Maybe. Ask The Doctor. :P
3376431 If you think my story is mad, you should watch me drive.
3377959 I'm a mechanic, not a cognitive scientist. I know how adrenaline feels, not how it works.
I'm sorry you didn't like it, but it isn't for everyone. 
(as for the left-right thing, yes, there are many.)
3378714 I confess, that is a rather gaping hole. You have me.
3379025
Goal: Achieved.
3379230 As was the point of the story.
3379388 Well I don't think it's that large of a problem. Maybe Beam's stuck in a Time Loop and that pressure plate is his horrifyingly swift death every time, unless you Wait for him! You could always add a sentence somewhere in Right that gives us a little hint when the protagonist hears the sound of somepony exploding violently, but that might just be too much effort for the poor, possibly defenseless friend/schemer/innocent bystander.
3379025 The mouseovers are the spoiler tags - spoiler = [ spoiler]spoiler[ /spoiler] without the underlined spaces (As far as I know, you gotta type 'em out each time. I don't know the keyboard shortcut, if one exists). Note: when overdone in a post, they get really annoying! See above. Also has the side effect of making you read things like you would on TvTropes...
I must say, this story is wonderfully crafted. Is all of the information you are fed in this correct, like the letters Beam gave you? Either way, choosing to go left was my most desired option. Right appeals to a part of my story-teller's self-abusive side, and so does waiting. Either way, this entire scenario could've been just another scene in yet another story, yet you have illuminated it to the point where it is a story in and of itself. Congrats!
Eh, that was a pretty neat little story. After recently playing several hours of The new Stanley Parable though, I can't say that it's the best and most vast choose your own adventure thing I've experienced. But I'm sure you weren't really shooting for that that, and I still enjoyed it.
yay i got the good ending! :D hurray for lefties!
3379766 Now that people are actually reading, I just might have to go fix some of those annoying errors.
3380007 it is all up to your interpretation.
i did think of making a whole book out of it, but then I remembered I work and go to school full time and a half and have no free time.
3381331 I wish I had the time and dedication to craft an entire world CYOE style. But, see above.
3381750 Good ending?
Felt more like a Rashomon-style fic than a CYOA, but still, I liked the way you used the different paths to frame different parts of the story, and how you can only get the full picture if you read all of them.
I enjoyed this chapter. Finally someone who sees that fire by another color is cool
3377936
ahem...fiction
3405889 Believability.
Hmm, choose to wait then tell me that
3377942
If that's all you got from this fiction, you shouldn't be reading fiction.
Just saying.
3419853 Way to imply things, capt'n.
3415072 I'd say that this is the good ending and I have read all endings. My theory is that she does love the protagonist in the left and right choices but not in the wait choice.
Well I did all the endings and I gotta say that Wait is the best. Not necessarily happy but Id rather know the whole truth. I don't have much to say about the Left ending and Right is the happiest but both are ignorant when I take into account the Wait option. Good story btw. But I must admit that I skimmed all those filler paragraphs about adrenaline and whatnot that, according to G-AB Acid, is misrepresented anyways. You should do another story like this but with more content.
3377959 It's entirely true that you almost fell, for lack of a better word, 'indestructible' with enough adrenaline )or other stimulants) in your body, but afterwards, there's almost a feeling of shock, the sudden knowledge of 'I genuinely could've died."
I believe that is the feeling of intense mortality the author is trying to describe here. Try again after you've experienced something like that, and tell me differently. I'd be more inclined to listen.
3377936Yup, this part is true. (Meaning there isn't really any definitive evidence for this.) But don't let science get in the way of fiction, eh?
3575686 Try again when you've actually studied physiology. Like I have.
Well then, am I just glad that I did the Wait Ending first. I had an entire room to myself and I can flee to one of the corridors if I was overpowered by the pony (Beam) so I said "why not?" and clicked the option.
