Summary
“How about that. I win.” He was weak now, his body too heavy for him to hold up by himself. He was letting himself die faster on purpose, speeding up his own decay out of spite. Even his mind was weakening, enough that he couldn’t stop himself from asking, from hoping. “Will it stop, Doctor? The drumming. Will it stop?”
His eyes slipped closed.
“Regenerate!”
The essence of pure time flooded his senses, blinding him even through his eyelids. The Master felt lighter and yet still weighed down all at once. Like death and life, dark and light merging into one. Then the golden light faded almost as quickly as it had arrived, and he felt himself fade with it.
And then he woke up.
Or: The Master doesn't die, and unfortunately learns that he is now capable of caring about other people. Bummer.

Summary
The Master settled into the plush armchair in the corner of his room and began reading. The story followed an unnamed criminal running from law enforcement by darting into a gap between two hedges and ending up in a labyrinth. When he turned around, the gap was gone and he had nowhere to go but further down the path into the maze. He kept encountering obstacle after obstacle, each one stranger and more taxing than the last.
Or: The Doctor is out, the Master is bored, and the TARDIS decides to take some inspiration from a book to entertain herself.
