Alternathon short story 3:

This was the most boring thing I’ve ever done. Watching paint dry doesn’t even compare. But, you know what they say. Needs must…

I looked upon my handiwork and smiled. I didn’t really enjoy what I did, but even I had to admit, this was a masterpiece.

Of course, it wasn’t quite finished yet. They never are. Always works in progress. I stopped smiling, leaned in close and growled ‘You ready to give me the information yet? Or do I need to torture you some more?’
