Summary: The Master knew his one weakness.
A/N: Written for dw100 prompt #211 Acme (as in Wiley Coyote and Roadrunner, a mail order company)
The Master knew his one weakness.
Its siren song called to him each time he passed.
He’d tried to ignore it, even going so far as to walk miles of corridors around the object in an effort to avoid it.
But like a fly to sugar, his curiosity overruled the more logical side of his brain.
The stenciled lettering on the side of the box was as familiar as his freckles.
The Big Red Button that should never, ever be pushed under any circumstances, followed by Acme Co. in smaller script.
A guilty glance, and then his hand snaked forward.
