    There’s a sci-fi story I know of with two endings, and the “normal” one ends with:

    “And he lived happily ever after.”

    From the context in the story that is actually super creepy and depressing.

    The other ending is much more upbeat, despite including a few billion deaths.

    Edit:
    I already spoiled the endings, but if you want to read it, it’s This.

        My roommate once came up with a similar idea of a horrific monster always ironing your shirts against your will. You cannot stop it, your shirts will be perfectly ironed and everyone will be in awe at your perfectly ironed shirts. You don’t know where this creature comes from or why it does this, but it’s far too strong to be stopped. IT WILL IRON YOUR SHIRTS!

          Nothing can stop you now. Not even death.

                    I know today is hard, but don’t worry.

                    These tears, they only are ephemeral.

                    Soon, you will smile. Forever.

                    And together, we will help those who don’t smile and reject the Gift.

                    WE WILL ALL SMILE. FOREVER.

                                    This one I’ve heard many times over the years. Every time I got a miner cut or scratch.
