Does Anyone Want Toast?

For some people an hour is an eternity, for others its not long enough. For
Skylar an hour was a series of minutes which could a.) make you extremely
bored b.) make you extremely excited or c.) none of the above. At the moment
his life was an a. He was sitting on his bunk listening to the Beatles
trying to not think about not being at work. When his talking toaster said,
"Don't you want any toast? It's been ages." Skylar frowned the last time he
had toast was that morning.
"I had some for breakfast."
"Can I make you some more?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"I'm not hungry."
"What is this hungry and why aren't you it?"
"For smegging sakes! Be quiet!"
The toaster went silent, but seconds later it popped two pieces of toast out
with such force that it Skylar full in the face. Skylar threw the pieces
back and the toaster launched more at him. This continued until Skylar
unplugged the toaster.
"You are stupid, sir," said the toaster.
"How are you still on?"
"Don't you remember that you programed me to be able to work in emergencies?
More toast?"
"Sod off!"
The toaster then resumed the toast launching. Skylar then grabbed a rather
large hammer from his "tool box" and hit the toaster with it.
"That was a cheap shot!" cried the toaster. "I'm dying!"
Skylar then continued to bash the toaster until it was only a pile of parts
and continued to listen to music. His stomach began to growl.
"Now I want toast."
