A/N: They won't go away until I write down what they tell me.  Thanks to wendymr for Brit/Irish-picking.

Oh, and I made a mistake, and accidentally deleted this when trying to correct it.  I think I also deleted someone's comment.  Please don't take it personally.

 

 

The boss said, “Sean, Bill – you’ve got the Valiant assignment!”  We’re still here, working.  Himself broadcasts a daily greeting to his subjects.  “Morning Execution” films here weekly.

Ever watch Monstrous?  The characters are decent people whose own darkness turns them into monsters.  That’s the Valiant.

We split most jobs.  I film the executions.  Earthside, it’s death by Toclafane.  Here, the Master gets creative.  I puked the first time; had nightmares for a week.  I’m getting used to it.  That’s why I do it.

Thing is, I’m single, and older than Bill.  Think I can cope better with becoming a monster.

Ouch, nobody should have to cope with becoming a monster.

Fantastic as ever!

Unfortunately, the Master makes a lot of people do things that no one should have to do.

Thanks for the comment!
