**Alternate Ending**

The Narrator lies in the hospital bed, recovering from the gunshot wound to the head. He opens his eyes and sees Tyler Durden standing over him.

"Hello, Narrator," Tyler says. "How are you feeling?"

"Confused," the Narrator says. "What happened?"

"You tried to kill me," Tyler says. "But you failed."

"But... why?" the Narrator asks. "Why would I want to kill you?"

Tyler smiles. "Because I'm a figment of your imagination," he says. "I'm a mental projection created by your doctors to help you cope with your trauma."

The Narrator shakes his head. "No," he says. "That's not possible. You're real."

"Am I?" Tyler asks. "Then how do you explain this?"

He reaches out and touches the Narrator's head. The Narrator feels a sharp pain, and then Tyler disappears.

The Narrator realizes that Tyler was telling the truth. He's been in a psychiatric hospital all along, and Tyler Durden was never real.

The Narrator is devastated. He thought he finally had someone who understood him, but it was all just a figment of his imagination.

But then he realizes that this could be a good thing. If Tyler Durden was never real, then that means he's not in control anymore. The Narrator is free to be his own person.

The Narrator smiles. He knows that it's going to be a long road to recovery, but he's determined to get better. He's ready to start living his life again.

**Epilogue**

A few months later, the Narrator is discharged from the psychiatric hospital. He gets a job and starts going to therapy. He's still struggling with his mental illness, but he's making progress.

One day, the Narrator is walking down the street when he sees a man who looks familiar. He stops and stares.

It's Tyler Durden.

Tyler smiles and waves at the Narrator. The Narrator waves back.

He knows that Tyler Durden is still a part of him, but he's not afraid anymore. He's learned to control Tyler, and he's not going to let Tyler control him.

The Narrator continues on his way, feeling more confident than he has in a long time. He knows that he's going to be okay.
