The Parallel Path: What Would Have Happened If Ned Stark Wasn't Arrested

In a universe where Ned Stark wasn't arrested, the repercussions would ripple across multiple dimensions of life. This alternate reality would see the untimely arrival of a new story, marked by a series of intertwined events that affect not only Ned Stark's personal life but also the wider community.

Marriage and Adultery

One of the most immediate changes would be in Ned Stark's personal life. Well Gloria, as she strengthened her romantic ties to Ned, would eventually become pregnant. However, the arrival of her child would not be celebrated without controversy. Ned, being the strategic and cunning man that he is, would falsely accuse Marsha, a transgender individual who identifies as a woman but is genetically male, of the pregnancy. This alleging of infidelity underscores the complex socio-cultural challenges around gender and identity.

Continued Criminal Activities

With Ned's freedom intact, his criminal activities would continue unabated. Far from repenting, Ned's operation would expand, lacing Fentanyl with horse tranquilizers, a dangerous combination that would claim the lives of many addictions, particularly children and adults. Ned's wealth would grow exponentially due to his apathy and criminal enterprise, but his reign of terror would come to a sudden and unexpected end.

An Extraordinary Twist of Fate

In a bizarre sequence of events, Ned would face an extraterrestrial abduction. Described as a highly affluent but morbidly obese individual, Ned would be taken by a UFO to a distant planet. The planet's drastically different food could not nourish his body, despite his massive appetite. Thus, he would slowly die from malnourishment, even as he continued to consume large portions of food. This peculiar outcome underscores the consequences of a life lived with little regard for the moral implications of one's actions.

Robbery and Tragedy

Meanwhile, back on Earth, Robert, Ned's accomplice, would take over the criminal business. However, lacking Ned's street smarts, Robert would find himself in a dire situation. During a robbery-gone-bad, the criminal known as Bumpy, Charlie with facial warts, intended to take the drugs and money but inadvertently took Robert's life in the process.

Discovery of the Truth

Mars, Bumpy's friend, known for his spaced-out behavior and hiding his gun in the woods, thought he had buried it in a way that was safe. A homeless man, who had observed Mars' actions from a distance, found the buried gun and later sold it to an undercover narcotics officer. The serial number had been filed away, leading to the arrest of the homeless man, who was charged with murder. Despite the false imprisonment and abuse in prison, the story does not end there. The narrative poignantly highlights the pitfalls of false accusations and the unintended consequences of criminal actions.

Profound Lessons and Thrilling Outcomes

Had Ned Stark not been arrested, the series of tragic and farcical events would have played out. Yet, considering the reality where Ned Stark was indeed imprisoned, one can only be thrilled at the altered outcomes. This alternate trajectory serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of accountability, integrity, and the long-lasting impacts of one's actions on both individuals and communities.
