The Library of Time (short story)

The Library of Time was a short story published in The Library of Time. It was written by Jonathan Morris.

Plot
The TARDIS reflects on how she keeps track of all her adventures with the Doctor. She reveals she’s not just the Doctor’s oldest and most cherished companion, she’s also her librarian. After each trip, she likes to make a detailed record of the events by writing them down and adding them to her library, which the Doctor visits occasionally though she’s unaware of the books about her adventures.

The TARDIS reveals she uses books as they’re more reliable, though the records themselves are not entirely objective. She claims that the library is a great way to spend her spare time in the gaps between adventures. There is one problem though, which is that her library keeps getting bigger as the Doctor has even more adventures. Being dimensionally transcendental however, the TARDIS will never run out of room.
